Join our team of Multicultural Australia Welcome Ambassadors!
Our Welcome Ambassadors (volunteers) play a significant role in welcoming and supporting newly arrived individuals and families from refugee, asylum seeker and migrant backgrounds as well as international students. By becoming a Welcome Ambassador you’ll be making a difference in someone else’s life as well as your own.
Multicultural Australia strives to develop communities in multiple ways and our Welcome Ambassadors are offered opportunities to engage in a wide range of activities and projects including:
- job preparation skills such as resume writing
- teaching English
- community and women’s group activities such as arts, crafts and health education
- practical support such as transporting clients to appointments
- mentoring clients
- assistance with Multicultural Australia events
Making a difference to someone's life and yours too
Multicultural Australia exists to shape a better future for all – a welcome, inclusive, globally connected, and economically strong community. As a Welcome Ambassador, you will be rewarded with an enriching experience as well as a strong sense of community and friendship.
As a Welcome Ambassador with Multicultural Australia, you will:
- build your professional network
- gain work experience in a reputable organisation
- support others to build independence and confidence as they start their new life in Australia
- build friendships with like-minded people
- gain satisfaction of helping others and sharing your skills
- receive professional or program specific training
You may even get a chance to engage in our highly regarded Cultural Competency training and receive a certificate for this participation.
After you have been a Welcome Ambassador for a period of three months you can also request your Multicultural Australia Volunteer Leader to be a referee.
