Do you want to be a Builder on the ReachOut Forums? 

ReachOut is looking for more volunteer Builders to provide peer support in the online forums!

Becoming a volunteer Builder is a great opportunity for you to receive training in how to be a good supporter for other young people.
We know that young people are best equipped to help other young people because of your shared experiences. As a Builder, you can pair these experiences with skills in listening, empathy, and support giving, as well as looking after yourself.

Who are Community Builders (affectionately known as BOBs)?:

A Builder is a member of the ReachOut.com community who has put their hand up to use their experiences of being a young person to take their support to the next level. They're trained in the art of Peer Support and help us to make our community the best place it can be. 

Who can become a Builder?

Anyone in Australia within the ages of 16-25 can apply to become a Builder. 

I'm ready to become a builder! How do I apply?

You can apply to become a builder HERE! We will get back to you soon to let you know the outcome of the application.

Any questions, put them in the comments to this thread!

@DruidChild I've seen you consistently posting awesome responses and supporting other users, have you thought about becoming a builder?

[DruidChild]

Thanks so much for the tag @Bee  I will definitely think about it, it would be awesome for sure, just not sure how I’d go with the time commitments.
