• Match day volunteering opportunities with the Sydney Swans
• Community engagement volunteering opportunities with the Sydney Swans (family days, fan development, state tournaments and other community events)
• Delivering community and holiday programs on behalf of AFL NSW/ACT
• Delivering coaching clinics on behalf of AFL NSW/ACT via Auskick, primary schools, multicultural and all abilities activities
• Coaching and officiating opportunities at schools, competitions and community events
• Work placement opportunities across a variety of departments at AFL NSW/ACT, including game development, administration, events and fan development

We are proud to partner with AFL NSW/ACT and the Sydney Swans. Our AFL partners make it possible for our students to have unparalleled opportunities to develop and participate in the sports industry while completing their HSC. Their industry-leading programs increase sports participation and engagement across NSW, leading to great outcomes for our students and the wider community.

“I was able to volunteer with AFL NSW/ACT and gain experience at a number of events including the Paul Kelly Cup. What I enjoyed most was working with the AFL NSW/ACT staff, who were extremely welcoming and helpful, making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the day.

At the event, I also was given the opportunity to do some talent scouting as part of the AFL NSW/ACT Future Starts program. It gave me a sense of pride seeing the kids’ faces light up when I gave them the invitation and really showed me how rewarding a job like this could be.”
