Community Seminar Facilitator

We are looking for a warm, confident, and community-minded volunteer to plan and deliver offline (in-person) seminars for families in our community. The volunteer will lead sessions on cyber and screen hygiene, family wellbeing and communication, mental health awareness, bullying prevention, and health and nutrition — and will also help mobilise and gather local residents, parents, and children to attend. This is a high-impact, front-facing role suited to someone who enjoys public speaking, connecting with people of all ages, and turning awareness into real conversations within families.
Seminar Topics to Cover
Cyber & Screen Hygiene for All Ages — safe and balanced use of phones, apps, gaming and social media, with a special focus on children: screen-time limits, online safety, privacy, and healthy digital habits.
Family Wellbeing — building encouraging, non-judgemental homes; reducing negativity and criticism; practical tools for open, respectful communication between parents and children and among family members.
Mental Health for the Whole Family — recognising stress, anxiety and emotional struggles in children, parents and elders; reducing stigma; when and how to seek professional support.
Bullying — recognising bullying (including cyberbullying), prevention strategies, and how parents, children and schools can respond and support one another.
Health & Nutrition — age-appropriate guidance on balanced diets, healthy routines, and lifestyle habits for children and adults.
Key Responsibilities
Session Planning
Prepare simple, engaging, and culturally appropriate content for each seminar topic, suitable for a mixed audience of children, parents, and elders.
Coordinate with the NGO team on scheduling, venue, and required materials (posters, handouts, activity sheets).
Facilitation
Deliver interactive, offline seminars — using simple language, real-life examples, activities, and participatory open discussion rather than lecture-style talks.
Encourage participation from children and adults alike; create a safe, non-judgemental space for questions.
Adapt delivery style and content depth to the age group present (children, parents, mixed audience).
Community Mobilisation
Help promote upcoming seminars within the community — through local outreach, flyers, word-of-mouth, resident associations, schools, or community groups.
Build relationships with local families to encourage steady attendance and follow-up participation.
Maintain a simple attendance/participation and progress record for each session.
Follow-up & Reporting
Collect basic feedback from attendees after each session to improve future seminars.
Share a summary/report with the NGO coordinator after each seminar (attendance, key discussion points, feedback).
Flag any case where a family or child may need referral to a mental-health professional or child-safety resource — as per NGO protocol, not personally diagnosing or counselling.
Who We're Looking For
Comfortable speaking in front of groups, including children and elders, in the local language(s) spoken in the community.
Genuine interest in child safety, mental health, family wellbeing, or public health/nutrition (background in psychology, social work, education, public health, or nutrition is a plus, but not mandatory).
Patient, empathetic, and non-judgemental communication style; able to discuss sensitive topics (mental health, bullying) with care.
Good organisational skills — able to plan a session and follow through with outreach and reporting.
Prior experience in teaching, counselling, community work, or public speaking is preferred but not required — training will be provided.
Willing to undergo a basic background/reference check, given the role involves direct interaction with children.
What We Provide
Training and ready-to-use seminar content/toolkits on all five topics.
Promotional support (flyers, social media, venue coordination) to help gather attendees.
A certificate of volunteering and letter of recommendation on satisfactory completion.
Reimbursement of local travel/material costs, if applicable .
Opportunity to build public-speaking, facilitation, and community-organising experience.
