If your organisation has the capacity to connect people aged 50 years and over to skilled volunteering roles or small business mentoring roles, we’d love to hear from you.
Skilled Volunteering
Skilled Volunteering is where a person uses their skills and experience to benefit a community organisation. This could involve a person using their business skills to build the capacity of the organisation. It could also involve sharing life skills and experiences to support a client of that organisation (for example, a student, a young parent or a person with disability). The emphasis is on giving back to the community.
Small Business Mentoring
Small Business Mentors use their skills and experience to support small business owners. This could include new small business owners who have established their business by completing the Australian Government’s New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS). NEIS helps eligible unemployed people to start up and run their own small business.
