The Ipswich ambassador program is looking for volunteers to help shine a light on the region at events throughout the year.
Visitor Experience Event Ambassadors will help staff a mobile trailer at events and activations around Ipswich.
This is an opportunity for locals to be involved in the community and gain some work experience, while also gaining access to some amazing events throughout the year.
Ipswich Visitor Centre manager Vanida Petts said volunteers were needed as soon as this summer to help run a mobile information kiosk at Orion Lagoon, Springfield.
“Our friendly, helpful volunteers are an integral part of welcoming visitors to the region and ensuring people know what’s on offer while they are here,” Ms Petts said.
“It’s a lot of fun – you are out greeting people and interacting with the community, and we get great feedback from volunteer ambassadors who tell us they really enjoy being a part of the program.”
She said local residents who were enthusiastic about the Ipswich region were ideal ambassadors.
Training and uniforms are provided and there is an incentive scheme to reward volunteers.
Tourism Committee Chairperson Cr David Pahlke said the ambassador program played an important role in providing visitors to the region with information about Ipswich.
He said ambassadors would be joining an award-winning team – the Ipswich Visitor Information Centre which recently won the ‘state’s best’ at the recent Queensland Tourism Awards. Discover Ipswich was also awarded the top gong in the Destination Marketing category.
“We have the best information centre in Queensland, second to none,” Cr Pahlke said.
