Volunteering with history
An exciting opportunity has come up for anyone interested in volunteering, as the Caboolture Historical Village is holding a Volunteer Recruitment Tour Day this Saturday, February 15.
The day aims to inform community members thinking of volunteering about what’s involved with volunteering at the Caboolture Historical Village and how they can help.
Volunteering at the village can be counted towards Centrelink mutual obligation requirements for over 55’s.
The morning starts at the village at 9:30am, with tours of the village kicking off at 10am. Tour guide tours and school’s tours (guides and demonstrators) will be available. Additional volunteer work area representatives may be available to chat with about other volunteer positions. A light morning tea will be provided along with a short presentation and Q&A session for you to pepper us with any questions you may have.
Volunteers have developed the Village over 40+ years into a major tourist attraction in the region; and they proudly still operate almost entirely by volunteers. It has been through the collective efforts of many volunteers that the Historical Village is what it is today.
The Caboolture Historical Village is a wonderful place to volunteer, meet people, learn new skills, and keep active. If you love to talk to people being a tour guide might be just the ticket – take a tour on open tour day to see what it is all about. If teaching younger generations about the “Old Days” sounds like fun, join one of our school demonstrators.
There are many different roles to fill at the Village, including tour guides and volunteers who conduct activities and demonstrations for our school visitors, train drivers, reception staff, cafe and catering staff, administration, marketing, building, grounds and machinery maintenance, vehicle restoration, and curated collection management.
Registration for this event is required – contact the village on 5495 4581 or email to register at VRC@historicalvillage.com.au.
