Aaron Monaghan
Connecting Up would like to congratulate and farewell Aaron, who joined us on 17 February 2021 and has recently left us in 3 July 2021 after gaining full-time employment. He came to Connecting up this year with a background in retail, video production, online marketing, and clothing production, and worked to develop a template for producing video content during his time here. Aaron has written about his experience with Connecting up, which can be found below. We wish him all the best in his future ventures.

This National Volunteer Week 17 - 23 May 2021, Connecting Up would like to thank our wonderful volunteers working across a number of roles, keeping the SAcommunity database updated, performing data analysis for coucils and highlight community organisations by writing articles for SAcommunity eNews. 
 

I started volunteering with Connecting Up in November 2017 while I was studying. At the time I was studying Business Administration at TAFE SA. I went on to further study Medical Administration, Accounting and Bookkeeping. I took an interest in volunteering at Connecting Up because I wanted hands on administration experience working in an office environment using some of the skills I had gained while studying.
