Leadership Application Process

Thank you for considering volunteering for Lutheran Youth of Queensland.

We value the incredible contribution that volunteer leaders make to our shared ministry. In fact the ministry of Lutheran Youth of Queensland is only possible because of the dedication of our volunteer leaders. 

If you would like to join our strong team of volunteer leaders then we encourage you to complete the leadership application process outlined below. This process is an important component of our safety strategy and helps to ensure that our events are safe for all. Please note that elements of the application process, such as the Working with Children 'Blue Card', may take weeks to complete.

If you have any questions regarding the leadership application process or would like to talk with us about being a leader on one of our events please contact Emma on 07 3511 4080 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Event Leadership Team Selection:

Only volunteer leaders who successfully complete the Leadership Application Process outlined above are considered for leadership on Lutheran Youth of Queensland events. A number of factors are considered when selecting event leadership teams. These factors include, but are not limited to, the gender balance of the leadership team, the balance of leadership experience and camper:leader ratios.

Please note that in some cases leaders will be expected to attend event specific training.
