Role Title: School & Volunteer Evaluation Research Intern
Organisation: Lionheart Camp for Kids
Internship Period: Semester 1 (February - May)
Location: Maylands
EdConnect collects annual data from schools, teachers and volunteers as to the value, success and impact of EdConnect's school volunteer program.
Taking data from recent years, the intern will assess data validity, trends, determine anomalies and provide recommendations to underpin future surveys.
Our vision is that no child should grieve alone. We know that good bereavement care minimises the long-term adverse consequences for children, such as poorer outcomes in education, employment, physical and mental health. We aim to do this through:
• Helping children and parents understand the process of grief
• Normalising the grief process for children
• Helping children identify with a spectrum of emotions associated with the death of a parent or sibling
• Sharing and expressing emotions in a healthy way
• Providing the opportunity to connect with other children experiencing the death of a sibling or parent
• Strengthening parents’ knowledge and skills in how to support their grieving children
