We’re on a mission to get the whole of Australia to get involved in the art of firefighting and disaster management. But we know not everyone wants to do it in a sassy firefighter suit.
Coming together as a community to keep each other safe, exercise resilience and problem-solve is what it takes to make a splash at Girls on Fire.
And that takes a diversity of skills (along with a diversity of people) to make that happen!
(Psst –current frontline emergency workers should check out the volunteer opportunities on our facilitator page!).
As an organisation in start-up mode that is learning by doing, we’re always on the lookout for committed people willing to lend a hand.
Girls on Fire is currently developing a volunteer program to help us make the most of our mission.
Girls on Fire is all about developing skills and making connections. As a registered not-for-profit association, we run our programs in line with
the guidelines set down by Volunteering Australia.
This means we have a minimum expectation of commitment outlined with each role. And each role in return has an agreed standard of recognition and benefit for the volunteer.
We will occasionally post other roles, so bookmark this page and stay posted via our newsletter.
All Girls on Fire volunteers receive acknowledgement of their contribution to our programs. This includes:
Volunteers are encouraged to be proactive in seeking new opportunities within the Girls in Fire organisation. As we are in the early stages of our growth, we anticipate new roles will be a part of this growth strategy. As a valued volunteer, you’ll be exposed to opportunities to participate in training and other special projects as they arise.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live. Girls on Fire pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
