Volunteers

PoolsiNSchoolZ is run by volunteers, allowing nearly 100% of the funds raised to be used to support our mission. Volunteer roles include:

•  Area Coordinator: Managing a defined territory, including liaising with schools and local community groups, promoting PoolsiNSchoolZ to potential donors and sponsors, ensuring local media coverage, and coordinating other volunteers.
• Specialist volunteer: There are many areas where specialist expertise is invaluable, such as:

  Building and managing our web site.

• Writing and publishing newsletters.

  • Advising on communications and media coverage.
  • Working with schools to develop educational resources that utilise the pool (these aren’t directly related to water safety, an example being creating graphs from the daily water tests).
  • Maintaining our school GIS (Geographical Information System) database.
  • Preparing funding applications.
  • Writing and maintaining our operations manuals.
  • Refining the design of the pool setup, to enhance safety (always the number 1 goal), improve operability, and reduce cost and extend the life span.
  • Lobbying at the national level.
  • Administration and accounting.
• Community volunteer:
  • Raising funds via local initiatives.
  • Helping with the erection and dismantling of pools.
  • Building platforms.
  • Assisting local schools as required.
  •  Lobbying local politicians.
