The intern would be working with the Resilient Together Wanneroo (RTW) project team within Befriend. RTW is a 2-year project aimed at enhancing community resilience in the face of bushfires and heatwaves. Our focus is higher risk individuals and groups, such as the elderly and people with diverse abilities, in Perth's northern corridor. The intern would be part of the Befriend team.

We believe that the fabric of strong communities is woven with relationships, connections between people from different backgrounds and walks of life, people of all ages and abilities, people new to a place, people at all stages of life. It is through our connections to each other that we can bridge all divides, and tackle any issue that life throws at us. Stronger, together.
