ABOUT THE AYCC AND THE POSITION
Established in early 2007, The Australian Youth Climate Coalition (www.aycc.org.au) unites over 60,000 young Australians and all major Australian youth organisations to build a generation wide movement to solve climate change. We educate, empower, inspire andmobilise young Australians to solve climate change, through short-term political impact and long-term cultural change.
In 2011 Power Shift will be held in Brisbane and Perth, for two inspirational, empowering conferences. Each Power Shift  conference will be a three-day event, with high profile keynote addresses from Australia's foremost climate change campaigners, interactive workshops and skills training, media stunts, social events and grassroots movement building!
Power Shift, like the AYCC, is based upon the passion and dedication of volunteers.

The Australian Youth Climate Coalition
Power Shift Logistics Volunteer Manager

TIME COMMITMENT:
8:00am-6:00pm 13/10/2011-16/10/2011
LOCATION: Brisbane

RESPONSIBLE TO: Emily Murray (National Logistics Manager)
Applications are due on Sunday 25th September 2011.

ABOUT THE AYCC AND THE POSITION
Established in early 2007, The Australian Youth Climate Coalition (www.aycc.org.au) unites over 60,000 young Australians and all major Australian youth organisations to build a generation wide movement to solve climate change. We educate, empower, inspire andmobilise young Australians to solve climate change, through short-term political impact and long-term cultural change.
In 2011 Power Shift will be held in Brisbane and Perth, for two inspirational, empowering conferences. Each Power Shift  conference will be a three-day event, with high profile keynote addresses from Australia's foremost climate change campaigners, interactive workshops and skills training, media stunts, social events and grassroots movement building!
Power Shift, like the AYCC, is based upon the passion and dedication of volunteers.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Direct the logistics volunteers to perform tasks requested by the National Logistics Manager and senior AYCC staff
  • Relay questions, concerns and suggestions from the Logistics Volunteer team to the National Logistics Manager

  • Supervise and assist with Logistics Volunteer tasks, including:
    • Prepare the Power Shift venue with AYCC banners, arrows and room signs
    • Manage the participant registration desk
    • Organise conference materials
    • Answer participants questions during Power Shift
    • Collect special guests from the airport

SKILLS

The Logistics Volunteer Manager will be a confident multi-tasker who is calm in times of crisis. They will have great communication skills and be comfortable working independently. The Logistics Volunteer Manager will need to be responsible and motivated, willing to take the initiative and pitch-in when extra effort is needed. A current drivers license is also highly desirable. Previous experience working within or managing teams of volunteers for the AYCC
or other non-governmental organisations would be advantageous. However, we recognise that the best people may have no formal experience but are quick learners.

APPLICATION PROCESS

ABOUT THE AYCC AND THE POSITION
Established in early 2007, The Australian Youth Climate Coalition (www.aycc.org.au) unites over 60,000 young Australians and all major Australian youth organisations to build a generation wide movement to solve climate change. We educate, empower, inspire andmobilise young Australians to solve climate change, through short-term political impact and long-term cultural change.
In 2011 Power Shift will be held in Brisbane and Perth, for two inspirational, empowering conferences. Each Power Shift  conference will be a three-day event, with high profile keynote addresses from Australia's foremost climate change campaigners, interactive workshops and skills training, media stunts, social events and grassroots movement building!
Power Shift, like the AYCC, is based upon the passion and dedication of volunteers.
