Beautiful People matches the expertise and talents of passionate individuals who can teach a useful skill or fun hobby to teen girls looking for productive and meaningful ways to spend their time.  We also need volunteers with a passion for working with the girls in a Big Sister or mentoring capacity. We are happy to work both with individual volunteers, on a regular or ad-hoc basis on special projects, and community organisations.

We are currently seeking: 

WORKSHOP LEADERS
Do you have a skill to contribute? Do you have a fun hobby you’d love to share with others? Beautiful People needs you and your talents! We invite participation by professionals who are willing to share their expertise or skills in relevant areas to the girls at Saturday afternoon workshops or at our mid-year and end-of-year camps.  Past workshops have covered a wide range of topics, including Legal Literacy, Health Issues, Voice (Singing), Skincare and Makeup, Italian Cooking, Deportment and various sport activities.  To register as a workshop leader, please email us with details of your proposed workshop.

BIG SISTERS
We are also looking for volunteers with a big heart, and an attitude of possibility, to act as Mentors or Big Sisters to the girls.  Our Big Sisters work with dedicated youth workers in Neighbourhood Teams to befriend and support the girls, so that each and every girl always has a mentor and listening ear to turn to.  Big Sisters are encouraged to "hang out" with the girls in their Neighbourhood Team once or twice a week, and to attend Beautiful People workshops with the girls.  Our Big Sisters also receive training and other support from the Beautiful People programme and Beyond Social Services.   To register as a Big Sister, please email us or send a completed Volunteer Registration Form to us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
