Closing date: 31 November 2026
Join the Team and Join the Adventure with Wollangarra!
Role Statement
As a Volunteer Outdoor Leader at Wollangarra you’re an essential part of a small community based around a truly unique outdoor and environmental education program and lifestyle. At Wollangarra, we believe the best way to make a difference is by rolling up our sleeves and getting involved. We value action over words, teamwork over individual achievement, and finding practical solutions instead of focusing on problems. The work is hands-on, sometimes physically demanding, and always purposeful. You will introduce young people to the Victorian mountains through a program of practical conservation through outdoor education, which will help them to see environmental issues as exciting and demanding challenges to the way we live, rather than endlessly depressing and negative threats to our future.
Each week a new group of young people will come across the flying fox and get to experience a way of life that has largely been forgotten. They’ll leave behind their mobile phones, watches and
timetables. They’ll get to bake bread, split wood, tend the veggie garden, collect the eggs and light the fire. They’ll get the opportunity to contribute to something positive in a meaningful way and feel like a valued member of the community.
The position requires that you reside on the Wollangarra property. You will live and work with four to five other leaders, the Director and the Program Manager. Wollangarra becomes your workplace, home and family for the year. This brings lots of laughter, fun and adventure. The role is highly physical. Your time at Wollangarra will offer a challenging, but immensely rewarding experience. For the right person, this is an experience of a lifetime.
Find out more about Wollangarra via our website: www.wollangarra.org
Who are we looking for?

All Outdoor Leaders will be motivated, hard-working people who are looking to make a positive contribution to an organisation that aims to inspire young people to grow, learn and ultimately make a positive contribution to their own communities and the environment.
The successful applicants will be part of a close-knit team of leaders, working alongside and under the guidance and support of the Director and Program Manager, backed by an active, passionate and supportive Council. The role will enable a real “hands-on” approach to all aspects of the Wollangarra programs and property. They enjoy working with people, build positive relationships with those around them, and know how to get things done while supporting their teammates to be successful.
Submission of Application
The position is open until filled. Applications should include a cover letter outlining why you want to work at Wollangarra and what you have to offer, a resume with three referees, and a statement addressing the above Key Selection Criteria. Interviews of suitable candidates will be conducted via Google Meet (or similar) at a mutually suitable time.
