Life Changing Experiences Foundation is a not for profit organisation that has been dedicated to changing the lives of disadvantaged teenage girls since 2003 (yes, 13 years!!!).
We have recently secured funding to undertake a ground-breaking study of the social and financial impacts of our unique and life changing mentoring program. The study will be project managed by our team and supported by experts in the welfare and not-for-profit sector.
This is an exciting opportunity to get involved in the study from the beginning and we are looking for students (ideally post-grad) from Sociology, Psychology, or Social Impact faculties to volunteer their time and gain valuable experience.
Successful applicants will assist the project manager in all aspects of literature review, research, stakeholder consultation, survey design and data analysis. References will be provided and volunteers will be cited in the study.
Personal qualities we are seeking include:
• Clear communication skills – comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification on tasks
• Self motivated and organised
• Passionate about the field of social impact and demonstrating quantifiable returns for not-for-profit investments
• Strong excel skills
• Able to volunteer 4-6 hours every week in our Surry Hills office (option to work remotely if required).
Our office is small, but filled with colour, energy & laughter. Our team of 6 dedicated and inspiring women (some part-time, some volunteers) are passionate about our program and making a difference.
Our year-long mentoring and education program fosters resilience, confidence and critical life skills for underprivileged girls. Our 1:1 mentoring program gives teenage girls a positive female role model and inspires them to do great things in the future. We are not affiliated with any religion or religious institution. We are grateful for the long-term corporate sponsorship of Nivea and our many pro-bono affiliates who make our program possible.
