Volunteer for MSA Trips & Events

MSA Trips and Events is a leadership and orientation program that was established in 1974. The program runs during non-semester periods and includes events like scavenger hunts, moonlight cinemas and Victoria based day trips. We are looking for leaders who wish to help new students socialise and find their feet, while also developing new skills and building social networks of their own.

STEP 1

Sign up as an MSA Volunteer and tick "MSA Trips & Events"


STEP 2

Join our Trips & Events Rosters (Open at the end of each semester for the following season)

The aim of this program is that volunteers progress to the Social Media Hosts, Mega Hosts, and MSA Trip Leaders.

If you have successfully completed between 1-3 seasons as a Mega Host, you can volunteer as a general volunteer once more or apply for an MSA Trips Leader role.

Volunteers who were suspended, demoted or removed from the C&E program or the MSA Volunteering Department cannot hold Host positions.


STEP 3

Note: Whatapp Chat is how we talk to one another and communicate events and activities. Email is rarely used during this program.
