The Organisation

We are Fit to Drive: a leading road safety education provider for young people and their families. Since 2014, we’ve delivered impactful workshops to over 140,000 young people around Victoria, both face-to-face and online. We send highly trained, passionate, young people into senior schools and community settings to empower others and promote safe road culture to save young lives and prevent injuries on Victorian roads. The workshops are fun, positive, and structured, aiming to spark real conversations about the issues that really matter most to young people on the roads.

The Position

The Fit to Drive Foundation’s Workshop Facilitators are responsible for the on-the-ground facilitation of the Foundation’s preventative road safety education programs in schools and at other education providers throughout Victoria. Successful applicants will primarily facilitate the F2D Workshop, which is typically delivered to Year 11 students. In the F2D Workshop, trained Facilitators work together to lead a cohort of students in scripted activities and discussions to inspire safer choices on our roads.

We are looking for vibrant young people who can relate to diverse audiences of other young people and engage them in dynamic road safety activities and discussions. We offer training in facilitation and provide opportunities to extend your road safety knowledge.
