Connecting Up is pleased to announce that our former volunteer Renu Bala has now started her full-time career with our parent body Infoxchange as a Junior Implementation Consultant on the 23 March 2022.

My Volunteer Experience - Brooke Lloyd

Brooke began volunteering with Connecting Up on 11 September 2019 after finishing a double degree in Media and Arts at the University of Adelaide. Like many students and new graduates, she aimed to use her time wisely by practicing the skills she developed while studying amid job hunting. However she found she also gained administrative experience, learnt about the not-for-profit sector, created new connections and networks and became a valuable member of the team.
