Our Volunteers
There are over 320 people involved in various aspects of Courage to Care–all act in a purely voluntary basis
If Courage to Care is one of Australia’s most high-profile and sophisticated exhibitions of tolerance education, it is due in almost full measure to the men and women who have acted as our educators, publicists, transport geniuses, facilitators, guides, survivors, mentors, associates and assistants…wonderful people who have never failed to answer a call for help when we needed legs on the ground, who have always presented themselves with total dedication and professionalism to the public of Australia.Volunteer guides are on-site throughout the exhibition period to amplify and explain different aspects of Courage to Care. Many of these guides are themselves Holocaust survivors, who as "living historians" are able to impart something of their experiences to visitors and school groups.

Lismore facilitators |
"Living in Harmony" workshops are led by professional educators or facilitators. The educators and facilitators are typically given time off their normal employment duties to conduct these workshops and seminars.
Supporting the education component, a manual of resource materials is distributed to all schools participating in Courage to Care, to enable teachers to undertake follow-up programs. Headmasters are consulted about local issues and these issues are incorporated into the resource material. Feedback from all participating schools is collected systematically, and a process has commenced to evaluate responses in relation to our objectives

People Behind the scenes
The Courage to Care program depends on people to make it the success it has become.
The behind the scenes volunteers enable the exhibition and its programs to happen
The Courage to Care program depends on people to make it the success it has become.
The exhibition is researched, objects collected, curated and put together. The exhibition is stored and then transported to the venue. This is done by a handful of dedicated volunteers.
To have people on site, volunteers investigate and book the most suitable accommodation; others research the modes of travel, while still others set up the roster.
The success of presenting Courage to Care is dependent on a very large pool of human resource. These enthusiastic people are vital in carrying the aims of Courage to Care. They are all an integral part of the team, who enable the program to run. We have been extremely fortunate to have such a dedicated and vibrant team of volunteers.
Holocaust Survivors, Guides and Facilitators
While every thanks must go to our many volunteers, the heart and soul of Courage to Care…what makes us unique and different from every other exhibition, is our survivors.
They are the backbone of our objectives to teach Tolerance and Harmony in the wider community. During the course of Courage to Care Exhibitions our Holocaust Survivor volunteers have been always very well received and respected by everyone that comes in contact with them. They earned the uninterrupted attention of students and adult visitors to our exhibitions seek them out and engage them in conversation.
Our Survivor Volunteers are performing a very important role to the Australian community by supporting Courage to Care. We are privileged to have a group of dedicated survivors willing to give of their time and ready to be at call to travel to remote places.
