MIEACT is an innovative and well-respected community mental health educator that works to promote understanding and awareness of mental health through our powerful programs provided to schools, workplaces and community groups. MIEACT’s programs achieve success through our incredible volunteers who share their stories of living with a mental illness that connect deeply with youth and adult audiences alike, and support positive change.
The Volunteer Engagement and Development Manager is an exciting, dynamic, and rewarding position. In this role you will be responsible for initiating and overseeing events and activities that will attract and build a diverse and passionate volunteer base.
