Publicity Officer

We are seeking an enthusiastic person to fill the role of Publicity Officer. This is a volunteer position, but you can get credits through our new community exchange project. Ideally you will have skills with social media and writing in general, but the most important criteria is a desire to contribute and help make a difference in the North-West. Contact Julie (0437 507393) or Robin (6438 1454) or email coordinator@nwec.org.au to express your interest. This is a great way to meet new people, pick up new skills and be part of the many exciting projects of the North-West Environment Centre.
