Following 10 years of developing our unique Spot community-led model for inviting fun, community-rooted and future ready education, we are ready to expand the network as we step into the next decade of impact.
We are looking for passionate groups who are already leading education projects of some form within their communities, whether a community library, or a literacy, STEM, environmental or gender equity activity.
We are looking for people to apply in groups of at least four individuals who are keen to be actively involved in the project within the community itself, with wider community involvement and support in the project.
APPLY TODAY: An expression of interest form is found here.
