Welcome to the volunteering website for Schoolies Support Team Volunteers associated with the Gold Coast Schoolies Community Safety Response!
Each year the Department of Communities and many Government and community agencies participate in the Safety Response in order to help Year 12 school leavers safely celebrate their end to formal youth education.
In November of each year, following the closure of Year 12 within the Queensland education system, thousands of school leavers descend on the Gold Coast and in particular Surfers Paradise. As a result, the Queensland Government coordinates the Safer Schoolies Initiative.
As part of that initiative and the Safety Response, Volunteers participate through several community organisations or through a specific pool of Volunteers recruited each year for the Schoolies Support Team.
This website provides specific information for those wishing to learn about Volunteering at the Safety Response and all of the conditions, training and details associated with that opportunity.
Please review the website pages and if you have any further questions – don’t hesitate to Contact Us.
Volunteering at Gold Coast Schoolies with the Support Team is great fun! It can also help to keep you fit as our Volunteers can walk up to 15km in one shift. But they get to complete that work in the beautiful setting of Surfers Paradise!
