Our shop is run solely by volunteers along with a small committee who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Our volunteers, committee and customers are keen to see new businesses grow and develop along with channelling any profits into creative, community based projects in Kaniva. We are always on the look out for new volunteers. Shop volunteers need to be able to make a regular once a month commitment to a morning or afternoon shift. You will need basic maths and be well presented with good customer service skills and the ability to work unsupervised. If this sounds like you, then register your interest with us. NB: We are not registered with Centrelink as an approved volunteer organisation, but we can put you in touch with other organisations looking for help in the local area.
We currently have two positions on the committee available. Please pop in to the shop if you are interested in helping us to fill these. Meetings are quarterly and are usually on Thursdays at 11am.
The Purple Starfish relies on volunteers to be able to open. It’s a great, fun, social day and a good way to get involved in your local community. Connect with our facebook group if you are a volunteer or supplier.
