About Us
Influential Stars is a purpose-driven platform connecting Creators, Collaborators, supporters and causes through exclusive experiences, sponsored events and fundraising campaigns.
We believe anyone with a BIG heart can use their influence, networks and community to make a positive difference.
Our Story
Influential Stars was founded by Lisa Connell, who is living with an inoperable brain tumour and has spent many years supporting charitable causes.
The platform was created from a simple belief: when influence, connection and community come together, they can create meaningful impact.
Role and Purpose
Did you know you can use your influence for good?
Most people don’t realise how much influence they already have. Influence is not just about social media followers, it can come from your workplace, university, local community, friendships, professional network or simply knowing the right person.
We are looking for proactive and enthusiastic individuals to help identify and inspire people with BIG hearts to become Creators or Collaborators with Influential Stars.
As a Volunteer Creator & Collaborator Outreach Assistant, you will help raise awareness by building relationships, introducing suitable people to the platform and sharing Influential Stars within online and offline communities.
