Interested in volunteering? We would love to hear from you! We need a variety of volunteers to help out at our new location at 8 Main North Rd Gawler, details below.
Centre/Admin Volunteer
Tue morning and/or afternoon negotiable
Help us keep the GEC running smoothly! Example duties include preparing items for the Grow Free Cart, getting ready for weekly events, promoting events and projects on social media and through our e-news, helping with grant applications, and much, much more. Some office/community centre experience preferred, but not essential. Tasks will vary from week to week, but there will always be lots to do!
Garden Volunteers
Tue, Wed or Thu, morning and/or afternoon negotiable
We have big plans for our garden spaces, including a bee and butterfly attracting garden in the front yard, and a water wise demonstration garden out the back. These projects are in the planning stage, so duties at the moment consist of weed management, preparing the garden areas for work to take place, and helping with grant applications to fund infrastructure. Some gardening experience preferred, but not essential. If you have a few hours available a week to help us get started we would love to hear from you.
