Seq Coordinator / Program Leader
Current
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
At Eat Up, I'm responsible for coordinating and running the logistics of our operations in South East Queensland. We are a NFP that provides lunches free of charge to schools, to try and reduce youth food insecurity and ensure all young Australians have the opportunity to learn, achieve and grow.A core part of my role is coordinating and running corporate workplace volunteering sessions, where we work with different businesses who support us in creating the lunches that I then deliver to over 100 schools in SEQ We conduct 3-4 of these each week, ranging in sizes from 5-50+ volunteers, in a variety of different industries. As such, I have become incredibly comfortable presenting in front of and leading large groups of people. Creating and developing these corporate partnerships and relationships is essential for the continued financial support and growth of Eat Up, and I'm proud to reflect on the many groups that have given us continued support over this period.As the sole employee in SEQ, I am responsible for delivering Eat Up's services not only to our partners, but the schools and stakeholders within the education sector that we work with. This has taught me both independence in managing my own workflow, as well as high levels of relationship building.It is a pleasure to work in such an industry where we are making a demonstrative impact on the lives of many young Australians, and incredible fulfilling to work with such an awesome team to continuously expand our reach.
