Our intention is to make this smooth for everyone involved. Some key rules…
Volunteers must abide by each organisation’s codes of conduct.
4 hours of volunteering earns 1 float.
Volunteers can earn up to 2 free floats a month. (Of course, feel free to volunteer more if you’d like, but you’ll only earn a max of 2 floats).
You must have volunteered at the organisation within a month of submitting your hours.
Volunteers can share their credits with whoever they like.
Volunteers hours must be verified, either through contact with each organisations’ volunteer coordinator/s, or through volunteers providing proof (such as a photograph of volunteer site, or written confirmation from one of the volunteer coordinators).
Volunteers can be removed from the program for any reason including:
Not abiding by Beyond Rest’s expectations of good conduct.
Not abiding by the Volunteer Organisations’ expectations of good conduct.
Missing scheduled floats without 24 hours notice (you’ll also lose your float)!
Since we began in 2013 we have provided various free programs that have allowed people to come and float with us in exchange for their time and contributions. This is because we want to make floating accessible for as many people as possible no matter their financial situation.
We came up with a list of some of our favourite non-profit organisations locally here in Melbourne that you are able to volunteer your time with. If you are interested in volunteering at one of these organisations, contact them through the info provided below, and let them know you are with the Beyond Rest Volunteer program.
Everytime you volunteer at least 4 hours of your time, fill in the form. We will then verify your hours with the volunteer coordinator and then give you a 60 min float credit on your account. When the credit is added you will receive an email acknowledging the credit so you can then book your float session in.
The organisations we choose are ones that we feel are contributing wonderful work to the community. We’re always looking at new groups we can partner with to assist in getting more floaty volunteers to help and contribute to the community. Please reach out to us about who you are and what you are doing to make a difference in the world.
