Kings Park Education volunteers
Be part of an exciting team sparking childrens' imaginations through nature! Kings Park Education volunteers assist Kings Park Education staff to deliver nature-based activities and learning opportunities to school groups, and through holiday programs and community workshops.
What makes a great Kings Park Education volunteer?
Kings Park Education is looking for people who are fit and active, friendly, outgoing, from a variety of age groups and backgrounds. We want people who are enthusiastic and able to relate to children of all ages and are willing to play, assist with preparation tasks and get involved with hands-on activities, are reliable, have a passion for the great outdoors and can break down tasks and deliver instructions in a positive way. Applicants for Kings Park Education will need to supply a valid Working with Children Check Card or be willing to apply for a card. Kings Park can verify volunteer status to allow volunteer to access the discounted volunteer application fee.
We have ongoing opportunities throughout the year, and also some once off or short term volunteer roles.
