Placements at Twenty10

Twenty10 does take on student placements, but we can only take one at a time. Students often help in the running of our drop-in centre or work on particular projects. The Client Services Team at Twenty10 can help you achieve your learning objectives.

To apply for a student placement position we ask you to send an e-mail to sam@twenty10.org.au that clearly states:

  • The course you are studying
  • The placement requirements (number of hours, qualifications of supervisor, etc)
  • A short statement about your learning objectives
  • Your contact details.

Due to the type of work the Client Services Team performs, we ask that students be over the age of 25 to do their placement at Twenty10.

Family and Community Studies

The gay and lesbian community is one of the marginalised communities studied within the Family and and Community Studies curriculum. Twenty10 may be able to provide senior high school students information that may assist with their assignments for Family and Community Studies.
