Role Title: Story Telling Intern
Organisation: Melville Cares
Internship Period: Summer (November - December)
Location: Palmyra
This role will work with our Coordinator, Social Contentedness. Based primarily at our Friendship Club where seniors gather each day for a range of activities. The Coordinator, Julie, would like to have stories taken of attendees and those important to them, to compile into a movie type format. There will then be a premiere type celebration inviting those involved but also extend into the community and to others in our service.
The aim is to collect and celebrate the lives of our members as well as promote the evening to those close to them. In coordinating this program, the intern would aim to involve a mix of people such as local high school students, people living with disabilities, the local Mayor, providers of specialist services, neighbours etc. The aim is to generate a sense of connection amongst different groups, recognize and celebrate the individual members and all to come together in a celebration of our community but with our senior members as the stars.
Our vision is we at Melville Cares believe older peoples lives should be as fulfilling as at any other stage of life.
