We are a start-up charity beginning our journey, dedicated to men’s mental health and personal development through brotherhood and intentional growth.
We have the vision and a dedicated Board; now we are looking for a Training Coordinator to be the engine behind our team’s development.
The VOLUNTEER Opportunity
As our first Training Coordinator, your role is about more than just "training courses"—it’s about empowerment. You will lead the charge in sourcing and providing the tools our volunteers need to be the best versions of themselves, ensuring their time with us is a journey of continuous improvement.
In this role, you will:

Design the Roadmap: Help map out the "learning journey" for our volunteers so they feel confident and capable in their roles.

Foster Personal Growth: Ensure our team members aren't just giving their time, but are gaining valuable personal and professional skills in return.

Bridge the Gap: Work closely with our leadership to identify what skills our community needs next and find creative ways to deliver them.
Who We Are Looking For
We need someone who is passionate about education, coaching, or HR and shares our commitment to men’s wellbeing. You’re a great fit if you are:
-
A Lifelong Learner: You’re always looking for a better way to do things and love sharing that knowledge with others.
-
Resourceful & Creative: You know how to find great resources (often on a budget!) and can think outside the box to deliver engaging training.
-
An Encourager: You believe everyone has untapped potential and you want to help them find the "key" to unlock it.
-
Mission-Driven: You understand that better-trained volunteers lead to a bigger impact on men’s mental health.
Why Join Our Team?
This is a unique chance to join a charity at the "Day One" stage. You will have a direct hand in shaping our DNA and building the community that supports fathers, brothers, and sons.
-
Professional Impact: Gain high-level experience in Learning & Development (L&D), HR, and strategic planning.
-
Personal Growth: Join a supportive "tribe" that prioritizes its own members' wellbeing and development.
-
Flexibility: This is a fully remote, voluntary role that fits around your existing commitments.
"A man’s mindset is the foundation of his future. Join us in building the community that supports that foundation."
How to Get Involved
