Whiteman Park is on the hunt for a team of energetic and passionate volunteers to help bring this vibrant festival to life!
If you’re interested in event management, education, environmental and science communication or simply happy to join an exciting educational event, we’d love to hear from you.
Workshop Presenters
Whiteman Park looks for at least 22 enthusiastic environmental professionals to volunteer their time to present workshop activities at the Festival year.
Our presenters are usually either released by their employers to attend as a representative of that organisation (and hence paid by your employer) or someone volunteering in their own right for the (fun!) experience.
What do you get as a presenter?
✔ your very own Festival t-shirt to wear on the day and then keep (to wear again or
✔ all catering on the day including a delicious vegetarian lunch, lots of snacks and hot and cold drinks
✔ all workshop instructions and materials, ready for you to present on the day
✔ a certificate of participation (on request)
✔ a fantastic experience!
