2023 Rotary International Convention - Volunteer Opportunities
In less than 12 months, Melbourne will be hosting Rotarians from across the world! Our Club has an opportunity to help showcase our town, whilst extending our hospitality to fellow Rotarians during their visit. Here are the details of the Volunteer Opportunities for events occurring as part of the 2023 Rotary International Melbourne Convention, but outside the Convention location and times. These city locations should be of interest to members of the Batman Cluster Clubs.
The opportunities are as follows:
- Melbourne Museum: Held at the Melbourne Museum on May 27th. Two shifts of volunteers required: 5:30pm - 8:00pm for 24 volunteers and 8pm - 10pm for 8 volunteers. All volunteers shall be able to have a complimentary beverage at the museum as a thank you. Volunteers shall meet at the main Museum entrance and then be allocated a task. They shall be assisting with directing delegates from the bus drop-off points in Rathdowne and Nicholson Streets to the main entrance before and after the event as well as directing delegates into and around the museum.
- South Wharf - Food of Melbourne: situated at the west end of South Wharf. Two shifts of volunteers are required, one on May 29th and the second on May 30th, 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm both nights for 10 volunteers each shift. They shall meet at the Promenade exit at MCEC and be placed along South Wharf directing delegates towards the food venues along Dukes Walk up to the Showtime Events Centre.
