In addition to one part-time paid manager, CTC@Robertson has a fabulous volunteer staff of about twenty people. We are constantly looking for responsible and friendly people to work in the CTC - in the cafe, in IT and office duties, organising the the cinema performances, gardening, cleaning - you name it! If you are interested and available for a couple of hours a week on a regular basis, please get in touch. You can download a pdf version of the volunteer application form (97 KB) or pick up a copy from the centre. We'll be in touch about a possible interview, where you also can ask questions about volunteering in the centre.
"There are so many different things to do as a volunteer here, learn to use the coffee machine and serve coffee in the cafe, use your computer skills to help people use the Internet, serve as a member of the Management committee, help with the network games nights, assist with art exhibitions, join the music evenings, learn to use the equipment to do printing jobs, help in the garden, and more", explains the former manager, current volunteer Karen Mewes.
Sheila and Greg help people use the computers and other equipment in the Centre.
"I like volunteering in at the CTC because it is close to where I live. It also keeps me in touch with the community and with technology. I enjoy the friendly and supportive surroundings", says Sheila. Greg also enjoys getting involved in the community: "The CTC is like a second workplace for me. I enjoy working with the other volunteers and welcoming people to the Centre", says Greg.
Kate is one of the cafe volunteers:
"I like volunteering at the CTC because I get free access to the Internet on my shift. I enjoy making coffee for people - it's fun!" says Kate.
