General Volunteers
Volunteering benefits individuals and the community. It helps develop skills, expand knowledge, and gain valuable experience. By contributing to the community, you make a positive difference and improve well-being.
STEPS offers diverse volunteer roles like assisting in classrooms, gardening, and food handling. We also have community programs like arts/crafts, fishing, and bowling.
Volunteer in Our Cafes
STEPS Café on George in Caloundra and Café on Carramar in Tewantin provide opportunities for young adults with a disability to learn hospitality industry skills and employability. These café’s are open to the public Monday to Friday.
We are looking for volunteers with hospitality and/or barista skills who can assist the Café trainers with the day-to-day operations.

Kitchen Cook Volunteers play a crucial role in the café. Their responsibilities include preparing foods based on the seasonal menu, which involves grilling, cooking, and frying items from a short order menu.
As a kitchen cook volunteer you would work closely with the Café Trainer/Manager and young adults with disabilities.
Volunteers will be required to hold an NDIS Worker’s Screening positive notice and supply a copy of their COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate. STEPS can assist you with your NDIS Worker’s Screening application.
