APPI are seeking volunteers to be helpers at our events.
The volunteers will report to and assist the core team.

Additional Desirable Qualities:
The benefits of this arrangement for you will be that volunteers will be able to attend regular functions run by APPI at no cost. Once per year they will be permitted to bring a friend with them to one of the events at no cost (excluding Parramatta Gaol), subject to numbers and at the Lead’s discretion.
Accepted volunteers will be added to a private group on Facebook. Dates will be proposed at which assistance is required and the number of volunteers needed. Attendance will be rostered by Peet.

Should we think you are a good fit, we will contact you for an interview. A trial period of six months will be put in place if you are successful. We will ask that you sign a volunteer's agreement and adhere to the volunteer's handbook we will provide you.
Please note, should APPI wish to appoint future members into the ‘core team’, it is anticipated these members will come from the volunteer team.
We look forward to hearing from you.
