- Are a strong communicator with high emotional intelligence.
- Have a creative spark—whether in performance, storytelling, writing, or facilitation.
- Are reliable, professional, and values-driven.
- Bring an open mind and willingness to learn.
- Have experience or studies in the arts, education, health, youth work, or related fields (not essential but a bonus).
- Are energetic, resilient, and love working collaboratively.
What You Get:
- Industry-aligned contractor rates.
- Hands-on experience making meaningful work in the community.
- Mentoring and training in facilitation and community engagement.
- A supportive team that values mental health and wellbeing—yours included.
