About the role
North Carlton Railway Neighborhood House (‘Railway House’) is a community center located in a historic building in a park in Princes Hill. (The building was originally a railway station on the now-defunct Inner Circle Line). It is a well-established neighborhood house that has been provided programs and support for the local community since 1984. Its aim is to create and strengthen connections in the community, provide accessible and equitable opportunities for learning new skills and for life-long learning, and to create an inclusive community through companionship, socializing, having fun, meeting new people and making new friends. It also provides an attractive venue for hire by organizations with aims compatible with those of Railway House, and on weekends for private functions.
The Committee of Management is responsible for the overall welfare of the organization, including its policies and priorities, strategic and business plans and financial security. We are looking for someone who lives in the Carlton / Brunswick area and who has an interest in community development. It would be useful if she / he had some experience working on similar committees. Skills that would be particular useful include marketing and promotion, fund-raising and strategic planning. If you are interested in applying to become a member of the Committee of Management of Railway House, we would be interested in hearing from you.
