Volunteer with Cape York Partnerships

Volunteers are critical to achieving our vision.

Volunteers bring vital skills and knowledge that Cape York Partnerships cannot always attract through the employment market.

Working at Cape York Partnerships provides a unique opportunity to assist in ensuring the people of Cape York have lives they have reason to value.

All volunteers are a part of the team and are treated the same as all team members. Cape York Partnerships' policies and procedures and expectations apply to paid and volunteer team members.

The diverse projects offer many varied opportunities for volunteers to make a difference.

Volunteering with Cape York Partnerships offers immediate and long-lasting benefits to Cape communities whether working directly in a community or working in Cairns on project and business development.

I greatly enjoyed working in such a dynamic environment — and one of constant change — as Cape York Partnerships moves through the transition from shaping public policy and lobbying into a professional organisation, which has at its core a significant service delivery responsibility.

This presents a host of serious challenges, but to contribute to such a worthy goal of improving the lives of indigenous people on Cape York was terribly rewarding and was what attracted me in the first place.
