Requirements

Volunteers work closely with staff to facilitate amazing experiences for groups that visit Living Springs. Everyday is different as we offer flexible programs to suit each group. A love of outdoor pursuits would be an advantage, as is an interest in working with children (mostly between ages 7-13), as well as cooking, hospitality, construction and animals. Be prepared to work hard at having fun! Volunteers ideally need to have a Driver’s Licence
