Welcome to Pink Cross Foundation Australia’s amazing community! This organisation is volunteer-driven. What you know about our programs, events and speaking engagements has been accomplished by a person without a wage. We have numerous volunteer roles and are always looking for additional volunteers to join our program.  See more details on what we do here.

We need:

BROTHEL OUTREACH WARRIORS: Heart-convicted female team member/leader who plans, collect and prepare food/gifts to drive to and connect with women in the legal adult industry in Victoria. Current team operates on Monday. Friday night team needed.
 
MALE MENTORS: Mature and experienced men who can support and encourage other men (mostly younger) seeking help for transitioning out of prostitution or breaking free from a pornography or sex addiction.
 
FEMALE MENTORS: Heart-convicted, mature and experienced women who can support and encourage more vulnerable women seeking help transitioning out of prostitution or breaking free from a pornography or sex addiction.
 
ONLINE MODERATORS (female/male): To communicate with people reaching out to Pink Cross. Moderating our social media platforms, engaging with our audience and bringing ongoing, positive support.
 
INTERNS: If you are a student and wish to get work experience in community services or other specialist field, get in touch. We offer placements taking place on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. We are based in Melbourne, Australia.
 
TRANSLATORS: To help connect with women who don’t speak English. Thai, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean, and Russian language skills could be particularly useful. We are currently looking to translate a number of documents in those languages.

COUNSELLORS (pro bono): To offer counselling to those who are experiencing trauma symptoms as a result of the sex industry.
 
ROOF REPAIR: We are located in an ageing building which needs extensive roof repairs. It is leaking on our documents so we are working in very poor conditions! Can you email info at pinkcross.org.au to come evaluate how much it would cost to fix this ongoing problem.
