Tree Monkey (Business Development Manager) –A creative, business-minded people-person who gets excited by the idea that running workshops with a 4.5 metre tree sculpture in all sorts of different institutions can have a positive social impact and be financially sustainable.

industry waste (you can check it out here).

overstays its welcome in different warehouses due to our lack of
capacity to consistently run workshops with it. Youth Tree needs

Mafia and manage the sculpture program as a social enterprise.

Each month at Scitech we show inspirational videos from the TED conference, host guest speakers to share world-changing ideas, host representative speakers from local non-profit organisations, facilitate open discussions around important local and global issues, share food and chat together. TEDxPerth aims to build a more aware, inspired and active young generation in Perth by being the platform for like-minded young people, not-for-profits and incredible thinkers and doers to connect and talk about ways to be part of the solution.

Talented people from various film schools are recruited into the pool of film crew volunteers on an ongoing basis. Volunteers from this pool then sign up to a project/event each month. So each month the Co-Producer needs to recruit and coordinate a crew made from our volunteer pool.

TEDxPerth Co-Producers will coordinate with each other to share workload. Youth Tree is looking for passionate, creative, hardworking

Co-Producer/Directors. Positions are for a minimum period of 12 months.
Positions are on a voluntary basis and will involve an ongoing
commitment to a monthly production schedule.

irrelevant if you're within this age bracket.
