We need many volunteers each year to successfully run our operations. Some of the positions are ongoing but most are for short periods of time.
Course Support
To minimise the hassle and maximise the performance of our course leaders and make each of our course sessions as enjoyable as possible for attendees, we need a number of volunteers to assist each course leader each session. The number varies depending on class size and venue. But in general, the positions we need your help for are:
- Course Assistant to the Course Leader
- Room set up
Our Course Support Coordinator and our Equipment and Technology Coordinator (both Committee members) coordinate the recruitment and activities of our course support and technical support volunteers respectively. In each term we need over 100 members to volunteer for course support. So, when our Committee members contact you, please promptly offer to help when you can.
Download the Course Support Guide for more detailed descriptions of the roles and responsibilities of course support volunteers.
Download the Course Leader Technical Support Guide for more detailed descriptions of the roles and responsibilities of volunteers who provide computer and audio/video technical support for course leaders.

Each year we seek nominations for positions on the Management Committee.
