Lifestyle Markets Australia Inc (LMA) and Kinds of Happiness Inc (KOH) are volunteer-driven organisations dedicated to supporting at-risk youth across Victoria.

Through community markets, mentorship, scholarships, and sustainable agriculture programs, they aim to create inclusive opportunities that empower young people to thrive. With a strong focus on community, respect, and growth, the organisations bring together passionate volunteers to make a meaningful and lasting impact.

Imagine helping bring a vibrant multicultural market to life — the planning, the people, the celebration. Our LMA volunteer team does exactly that, and there is a spot with your name on it!

If you love organising events, enjoy connecting with people, and want to make a real difference for young people from rural and regional backgrounds, we would love to hear from you.

This is a flexible, volunteer opportunity with the chance to be part of a dedicated, supportive, and fun team. You will work remotely with the need to be available to attend events in person as required.

About the Role:

As a Volunteer Multicultural Event Planner, you will be helping bring our diverse community events to life — from first plan to final celebration. You will support the coordination, communication, and logistics that keep our events running smoothly and meaningfully.

You will be part of something bigger — helping shape fundraising and community events that create real opportunities for young people in rural and regional Australia.

Working alongside a passionate team, you will contribute to planning vibrant, culturally rich experiences — from coordinating event details and engaging sponsors, to helping craft memorable moments that bring communities together.

Key Responsibilities:

• Attend training, orientation sessions, and team meetings as required
• Research, connect with, and liaise with multicultural vendors, delegates, activity providers, entertainers, local makers, stallholders, businesses, community groups, associations, and on-site staff to coordinate event details and ensure smooth operations
• Maintain event calendars and track key deadlines
• Maintain vendor licences and compliance documentation in accordance with relevant rules and regulations
• Respond to event-related enquiries in a timely and professional manner
• Coordinate with internal teams to support event promotions and registrations
• Maintain accurate records and shared documentation to support team visibility and coordination

We are looking for someone who:

• Willingness to learn, develop, remaster skills and build strong professional connection with other volunteers
• Clear, friendly, and professional written communication
• Attention to detail and ability to juggle tasks
• Reliable, proactive and self motivated
• Comfortable supporting online meetings, shared documentation, and digital tools like Google Workspace
• enthusiasm and commitment matter most

What You’ll Gain:

• Valuable experience in event planning and fundraising
• Opportunities to build your professional network and skills
• Volunteer flexibly around your existing commitments
• The chance to make a real difference for young people from rural and regional communities
• A supportive team culture you'll actually enjoy
