Help us change the game for mental health.
At Outside the Locker Room (OTLR), our volunteers play an important role in helping us create healthier, more connected and mentally well communities across Australia.
Whether you're passionate about mental health, sport, community, events or simply want to give back, volunteering with OTLR is an opportunity to be part of a movement making a genuine difference.
There are a range of ways you can get involved, including supporting community events and activations, fundraising initiatives, mental health campaigns, sporting club programs and other OTLR projects throughout the year.
As an OTLR volunteer, you'll have the opportunity to:
- Make a positive impact in sporting and local communities.
- Support initiatives that increase mental health awareness and help-seeking.
- Meet and work alongside passionate, like-minded people.
- Build valuable experience in community engagement, events and the not-for-profit sector.
- Help OTLR reach more people with the message that no one should face life's challenges alone.
You don't need to be a mental health professional to make a difference. We're looking for passionate, reliable and community-minded people who believe in the power of connection and want to help us change the game for mental health.
