EOI to be an Adult Helper/Adult Supervisor in the St John Youth program

Thank you for your interest in being an Adult Helper/Leader in the St John Youth program. St John has a number of Youth Divisions that operate across Victoria. This EOI is the first part of the process of being an adult helper/leader within a St John Youth Division. Please note that this EOI is not to be a St John Volunteer to attend events and provide First Aid.

St John Adult Helpers/Leaders are:

St John Youth programs are voluntary, community-based programs for the development of children and young people into socially responsible, service orientated citizens. The St John Youth program is facilitated by suitable adult volunteers who undertake a leadership and management training program, as well as mandatory annual training in providing child safe environments.

All adult volunteers of St John are screened to ensure that they are suitable to work with, or around, children and young people. St John has zero-tolerance for child abuse and will take any allegation, suspicion or complaint relating to child safety very seriously.

The participation of Adult Helpers/ Leaders is an essential component of the Program. Without Adult Volunteers, the Program could not be facilitated.
