What we do... Fair Game services kids and families living in regional/remote communities across the Mid West, Pilbara, Goldfields, & Kimberley by delivering the following programs:

• Game On! encourages active communities through unique, fun, sports-based activities that promote fitness, teamwork, and coordination.
• Healthy Communities uses fun, interactive health education activities to engage children in evidence-based practices in the areas of oral, hand, ear, & foot hygiene, nutrition, & smoking.
• Recycle & Donate collects preloved sports equipment across Perth Metro and distributes it in response to specific requests from under-serviced communities.

What our volunteers do...

• If accepted, participate in one of our Fair Game Academy Training Weekends (hosted 2x/year)
• Once trained, participate in at least 1 Fair Game Road Trip per year (based on your availability)
• Support our Perth Metro Recycle and Donate program and pop up events

What is a Fair Game Road Trip? Volunteers, lead by our Trip Lead staff, will travel in teams of 3-4 to regional/remote WA to support the delivery of our Game On! and Healthy Communities programs for one week at a time. Teams typically fly as a group from Perth to the closest regional hub, and then drive out to 1-3 communities per trip. Fair Game Road Trips run year round to visit remote schools, assist with school holiday programs, and support community events as requested. All travel, accommodation, and food is covered by Fair Game.

What we are looking for... Required:

• Previous experience working with children and/or young people
• High energy and a willingness to participate in long days of running around with kids
• Commitment to furthering your cultural competency and working alongside remote communities
• Flexible, open to new experiences, & willing to listen and learn

Desired:

• Study or work in a relevant field (sport/rec, teaching, youth/social work, health promotion, etc.)
  • Not required, but highly preferred

This is a unique chance to volunteer for an organisation that takes a grassroots approach to community health and fitness. ***We are not looking for people who are interested in a one-off volunteering experience***
