Make A Difference

Most volunteer roles don’t offer any capacity to make a decision, or to influence outcomes.

Most volunteers act as unpaid drones at the bottom layer of employees within a non-profit business.

This site is different – it shows you how you can actually make a difference if you choose to involve yourself

where the benefit is not wages, but rather achieving personal satisfaction by doing good.

BECOME AN ADVOCATE VOLUNTEER FOR YOUR TOWN

Ipswich, a major city in south east Queensland, offers residents the opportunity to be an Advocate for the city.

Basically Advocates help promote the city and surrounds. This model could be put in place anywhere.

What's in it for volunteer Advocates?
· Participation in series of free familiarisation tours of your town and surrounds
· Invitations to selected events and product launches
· Free Advocate merchandise
· Priority advice about new promotional materials and tourism products
· The opportunity to make a real and exciting difference to your town
· Opportunities to participate in exclusive Advocates promotional prize draws

So what do you need to become an Advocate? You must be 18 years or older, passionate about your town, able to advocate to others as well as being happy to speak about the town to groups of people if required.

So if that describes you, and you would like the opportunity to help promote your city, consider becoming an Advocate volunteer today for your own city or town.

You will be helping to educate residents about the special experiences they and their visitors can enjoy.

If you want to learn more of this initiative, go to www.ipswich.qld.gov.au and search on “advocate”.
