Glen Park’s volunteers are crucial to our centre’s daily operations and are highly valued team members. Volunteering offers people the opportunity to engage in rewarding and fulfilling work while giving back to the community. It’s also a great way to update or learn new skills. Glen Park Community Centre’s volunteer program is an approved Centrelink activity, and we are always looking for volunteers to contribute to the Centre. If you are interested in helping out in our Social Enterprise Cafe, Office, Community Shed or assisting in classroom set up and general cleaning, please contact office@glenparkcc.com.au.
Jared commenced volunteering in 2019 and participated in Glen Park’s pre-accredited training. As part of Jared’s pre-accredited training, he set himself goals and planned a pathway of how to achieve the goals he outlined. One of the main topics Jared wanted to address was building his confidence. Jared worked closely with Glen Park’s Chef, who set small achievable goals for Jared to achieve each day that he spent volunteering. Jared was unsure about serving customers in the cafe, but his confidence slowly started to grow with each customer he served. Jared’s boost of confidence contributed greatly to achieving one of his major goals, which was travelling overseas for a holiday. Jared was able to achieve his major goal within 10 months of volunteering. Glen Park’s volunteer program was suspended for a great deal of 2020 & 2021, however despite this, Jared still felt confident and started attending job interviews. Jared successfully gained employment in November 2021 in the hospitality industry. Glen Park are very proud of Jared and all that he achieved throughout his time volunteering.
Glen Park’s Social Enterprise are seeking some motivated individuals to volunteer in the Social Enterprise Cafe “Cafe on the Park”. In this role you will be supported by a small team of supportive staff and volunteers.
