The African Music and Cultural Festival is a 3-day family friendly celebration of African Culture. Over 35 African Countries and community organisations will be represented through music, food, fashion, film, dance, art and culture.
We will be joining our Community Partner AMES Australia. At our shared stall we will be hosting workshops and activities for attendees.
Volunteering is a great way to support Beyond Blue, connect with others and feel a sense of pride and purpose.
We are looking for 3 volunteers each shift to join a Beyond Blue staff member at this event.
Volunteers will be talking with attendees about their mental health and wellbeing, or those they may be concerned about, sharing our services and resources and collecting donations.
