Community Kitchen Committee - Founding Volunteer

Lifestyle Markets Australia Inc is a registered charity and not-for-profit organisation bringing communities together through multicultural markets, festivals, and events across Victoria. Every dollar raised supports Kinds of Happiness (KOH), a charity dedicated to empowering disadvantaged youth in regional and rural Australia through mentoring, farming programs, and skills development.

We are forming our Community Kitchen Committee — a brand new initiative being built from the ground up by passionate volunteers who want to create something truly special for our community.

This is a rare opportunity to be involved from the very beginning: shaping the vision, building the team, and seeing it through to full operation. Whether you love food, community connection, event coordination, or just want to roll up your sleeves and help make something happen — there is a place for you here.

What Makes This Special

• Help shape this initiative from concept to reality — your ideas will genuinely matter
• Be part of a warm, collaborative team that celebrates every win together
• Connect with like-minded community members
• Grow your skills in planning, coordination, communication, and more
• Flexible involvement — both virtual and in-person options available

Who We Are Looking For

We welcome people from all backgrounds — what matters most is a positive, collaborative mindset and a genuine desire to contribute.

Community Connectors - People who love bringing others together and building relationships across our diverse volunteer community.

Food & Kitchen Enthusiasts - Anyone with a passion for food, hospitality, or kitchen operations — professional experience welcome, but not required.

Planners & Organisers -Volunteers who enjoy structure, logistics, and turning ideas into practical, workable plans.

Hands on Helpers - People happy to roll up their sleeves — whether that is setting up, sourcing supplies, or supporting on market days.

Willing Contributers - Anyone ready to bring time, ideas, and energy to a project still finding its shape — enthusiasm matters more than experience.

What is Involved

As a founding member of the Community Kitchen Committee, you will help shape the direction of this project from the ground up.

Specific roles and responsibilities will evolve as the committee takes shape, with both virtual and in-person involvement depending on your availability and interests.

• Shaping the Vision - Contributing ideas and perspective in the early planning and decision-making stages of the committee.
• Building the Team - Welcome and connect with fellow volunteers as the committee grows.
• Bringing It to Life - Turning early plans into action — coordinating logistics, food, and community involvement as the initiative takes shape.
• Staying Connected -Taking part in regular check-ins and team catch-ups to stay involved and share progress as the committee evolves.
