Student Volunteer Host Program

Student Volunteer eFriend Program

Every semester, we recruit student volunteers - eFriends to provide peer-to-peer support to new international students from the online Transition @ La Trobe group. Actions involve posting a welcome post; answering queries; posting relevant and useful media; referring students to staff contact where issues are involved; guiding students on where to find information.  You will develop skills in communication, social media, and problem solving, and play an essential role in supporting new international students for a quick adjustment into studies and life in Australia.

We are recruiting eFriends for 2020 Semester one now. If you are interested, apply online now. Application closes on 30 November 2019.
