Volunteering
Volunteers are the butter to our bread, the honey to our bees, the rock of our Gibralta! Volunteers generously donate their time so we can continue to run a tight ship.
What do you volunteers get out of it?
Volunteers have the opportunity to network, meet interesting people and hopefully make valuable contacts. They can also attend seminars for free, and sleep soundly knowing they are helping Writers Victoria.
What do volunteers do?
Event volunteers assist with workshops, seminars and other Writers Victoria events, often after office hours or on weekends, with duties such as:
- setting up the Writers Victoria space (at the Wheeler Centre) for the event
- meeting and greeting speakers and guests, and assisting with general enquiries at an event
- attending to the bar
- operating a “roving mike”
- distributing and/or collecting evaluation forms
- tidying up the event.
Office volunteers assist, usually during office hours, with administrative duties such as:
- proofreading
- mail-outs
- filing
- cataloguing
- data entry
