Fishing Volunteer
About this opportunity
Are you friendly, love fishing or being by the water and have a strong desire to help others? Fishability is looking for volunteers who enjoy helping others to develop independence and experience the excitement of catching a fish! Experience with fishing is not necessary, but all volunteers must have a positive, friendly and empathetic nature. Fishability is a not-for-profit volunteer association providing fishing opportunities for people with disabilities in the W.A. community. Volunteers assist to set up gear, in baiting and casting a line and catch care. We have specialised gear such as electric reels for those that need them. Previous experience working within the disability sector would be helpful, but not necessary.
