Volunteering at YPT
We offer a range of volunteer opportunities for past and present members of our YPT community. YPT has a long tradition of social inclusion at its heart and fosters capacity building through community connectedness.
Our philosophy of inclusion is made possible due to the work of our committed volunteers. We actively promote a culture away from maximising profits towards inclusion for all families by extending substantially lower fees than similar organisations’ in the region. Uniquely, despite significantly high operating expenses, YPT provides performance and production opportunities for students at minimal cost.
At the core of YPT volunteering is the parent commitment to assist during productions. This commitment includes being rostered during the pre-production and production season when your child is in the cast. This may include duties such as front of house, dressing room supervision, canteen and stage door.
In addition, YPT offers longer term volunteering roles to members of the YPT Community. Amongst other things, our positions are attractive for those seeking to broaden their experience, make strong social connections or contribute positively to the community.

Gifts in Kind
We understand that many members are not in a position to volunteer their time and skills beyond what is required for the parent commitment required for productions. Many of these members would still like to make a significant difference to the YPT community.
Gifts in kind take many forms and can have a significant impact in achieving special outcomes.
They may include but are not limited to:
- Equipment e.g. office equipment, televisions etc.
- Educational resources
- Professional services e.g. If you run a business we may well be in need of the services you offer. If you are in a position to offer those services to YPT on a pro bono or reduced fee basis, please let us know.
- Access to venues
If you are in a position to offer a gift in kind please contact our office so we can understand your proposal and assess if we are in a position to use this support.
