The Greater Shepparton Visitor Centre are inviting locals to be part of their team of volunteers and experience Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley in new ways, by sharing their home grown stories with our visitors to inspire travels to our unique townships and bring people together to celebrate the region.
Positioned at the iconic SAM building on the shores of Victoria Park Lake, the Greater Shepparton Visitor Centre is experiencing an all-time high of travellers through the door, greeting hundreds of new and returning visitors ready to explore the region.
The volunteer team are at the forefront of tourism in the region, and as a volunteer you will be able to discover the region unlike any other visitor or local.
Volunteers receive exclusive tours and visits to local attractions, get updates on events and programs before public release and have the opportunity to represent the Visitor Centre and the region’s attractions at major events.
Greater Shepparton City Council Visitor Experience Coordinator, Maree Glasson, says the Visitor Centre is much more than maps and information.
“We have seen an increasingly high rate of visitors to the region all wanting to explore the unique offerings across Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley, and we need enthusiastic and knowledgeable locals who can represent our dynamic culture, show off our friendly hospitality and help visitors get the most out of their stay,” Ms Glasson said.
“I encourage anyone who is passionate about the region to come in and say hello and speak to us about volunteer opportunities.”
Volunteers are asked to dedicate four hours of their time on a regular basis, providing the highest standard of customer service, assisting with merchandising and sales and supporting the day to day operations of the Visitor Centre.
To express interest in volunteering, head online and fill out the form or contact the Greater Shepparton Visitor Centre team via info@sheppandgv.com.au.
