**The Opportunity**

We're looking for a small pool of dedicated volunteer facilitators to lead our weekly walking club. The goal is to have at least two facilitators co-host each session to ensure a supportive, engaging experience for all participants. You won't have to commit each week if life gets in the way.

As a Walking Club Leader, you'll play a crucial role in:

* Creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all participants.
* Encouraging conversation and connection among walkers.
* Ensuring the safety and enjoyment of the group.

**Walking Club Details**

**The Walk:** We'll enjoy three laps of the beautiful Hyde Park lakes (approximately 850 meters per lap), offering a gentle and refreshing start to the weekend.

The Rotary Club of Northbridge proudly supports these events, helping us expand our reach and impact in the community.

**What We're Looking For**

* A genuine interest in mental health and community well-being.
* Reliable, punctual, and committed to weekly sessions.
* Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

Group facilitation experience is a bonus but not essential. We'll provide guidance and support!

**Commitment expectation**

We hope you can host at least one walk per month between October 2026 and March 2027.

**Training provided**

You will need to be available for an orientation on Saturday 3rd October at 7:30 am at BOOtoo cafe, before our first event begins at 9 am, which is around the corner from Hyde Park. Coffee is on us!

**Why Volunteer with Us?**

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a tangible difference in your community, contribute to a positive cause, and meet new people. You'll be part of a supportive team, helping to create a welcoming space where individuals can improve their mental and physical health.
