Wests Tigers seek volunteers

LOL - yea and most end up volunteering at an Op Shop because they don't know whats out there. I take it you would be happy sorting out the undies at Salvos because you didn't know there were game day Volunteer jobs at NRL clubs. Just don't sniff the undies.

I volunteer at an amateur rugby league club. I’ll stick to that. Maybe that’s where our admin belong.

- the club offers people the opportunity for some volunteer work IF THEY WANT IT - and the usual crowd come out of their caves and start putting sht on the club and anyone who thinks its a good idea. Did you tossers even think that some unemployed people might think it looks good on their resume that they volunteered for someone other than the usual religious.

With due respect mate I think some unemployed people like like some employment.

They also suggest volunteers will receive two free tickets in general admission to all home games, while also being able to experience behind the scenes action.

Pretty surprised by the majority view here tbh.

1. People don't volunteer for things they have no idea they can volunteer for.
2. If I were a kid (say 12?), mad about the tigers, I reckon I would love to spend a day with my dad helping out, knowing I've actually played a small part in helping the club with its 'game day experience'
3. Appears volunteers get 2 GA passes for all (I assume, remaining) home games, so what's that worth? They'd probably go to them all anyway, so they'd actually end up saving money....

Don't get the hate.

A club that gloats about profits and community involvement. Maybe employ a few locals? You know, walk the walk not just talk the talk.
 
Lol... Guess "gloating" about profits is what happens when there's nothing to gloat about on field! 🤣

Can't argue it would be nice to be able to give some people a seasonal job, but on the other hand the club does do a lot of charitable work, send players out to schools etc., afaik, so you could look at it as they already do a lot for the community.

It just kind of feels like the club has good intentions and came up with an idea to involve the community and people are just picking the sh1t out of them for it.

In any case, it's a chance for people to be involved on match day - if they choose. They're not being sent to North Korea.

Either way, I'm not losing sleep over it and there's nothing wrong with differing views.
 
Every industry is struggling to put people on at the moment......

It seems no one wants to work.
This is every industry from hospitality to trades, you name it.

Went from multiple applications pre covid to lucky to get a handful now.

Finding volunteers for these roles may prove harder than you think.

I think some people miss the main point of the conversation,volunteers are an integral part of our workforce...Rotary,Lions,firefighters and teachers all have some form of volunteer workers..
What people miss is the older people do the work to keep active and productive,the younger ones gain experience in working for someone in a particular field,say hospitality..I will give you an example within the footy clubs,some of the ladies work the canteen,some of them are retired from work and still have very good knowledge of catering,some of the younger ones have jobs in clubs pubs or cafes and do it to help out...
If only people would realise that there are some very good hearted and caring people in our world that do it for LOVE and not the money...
