Volunteering at South Burnett Information Centres - We Need You
Are you friendly, motivated and passionate about the South Burnett and what our community has to offer?
Visitor Information Centres around the South Burnett are on the recruitment drive for much needed volunteers. COVID-19 has depleted their ranks leading to occasional closures which affects the promotion of the region’s attractions.
The Council is encouraging a new wave of volunteers to apply, even for a couple of hours a week. People of all ages, men and women, are invited to play a part. Volunteering has many rewards including making new friends, learning a lot about the area and interaction with a variety of visitors that contributes to the community.
Cr Kirstie Schumacher praised the work done by volunteers for ensuring all visitors go home with a fond memory of the South Burnett. “Every hour you can give is valued. Volunteers are the heart and soul of our Visitor Information Centres as they share the stories of our regions,” said Cr Schumacher.
Duties include providing residents and visitors with details of key tourist attractions and venues and information on Council’s facilities within the region.
Volunteering at the VICs is also a way to meet Centrelink obligations for volunteer work hours. This is a very pleasant way to spend your time and contribute to the community.
