Do you enjoy chatting with people? We need people like you to make phone calls to various organisations promoting our services. You can also opt into other tasks and special projects that come along from time to time, that are exciting and different.

It's all about people helping people improve their social, economic and family interactions through improved literacy outcomes. And your role in being a phone call superstar goes a long way to helping the trust get its services into different communities and organisations.

Proposed project steps with time estimates

This role requires you to make a courtesy phone call to determine whether different organisations would like information about the Rural Youth and Adult Literacy Trust services.

This is not a sales role as you are not selling anything - you are simply helping to raise awareness about the work we do and the opportunities we provide.

Calls can include ringing places like libraries, companies, and social assistance organisation's to check if they need brochures and information on the trust's services. You can choose the type of call you prefer making. There is quite a variety of different options. All phone calls are made using an internet app (VOIP) from your home computer or mobile phone. You will need to enter comments into a spreadsheet. Hence, a computer and internet access are essential, but it won't cost you anything for the calls.

What We Have In Place

Our Community Coordinator will help set you up and support you through the process, and you will be supplied a call script to work from.

What we Do
The Rural Youth and Adult Literacy Trust (previous know as Adult Literacy Rural Trust) provides training in literacy for isolated rural adults and teenagers. The Trust has operated from premises in Port Waikato since August 2011. Our volunteer coaches work with a student from 3-5 days a week for 30 minutes a day, using phone, mail, fax and video-conference. Students are able to access our online practice software if they have access to a computer with internet or can get to a library computer. The Trust runs school holiday Catchup Literacy Camps for high school students who want to improve their literacy skills.
