Lucy

26TEN Coordinator

Meet Lucy

I have worked at the Geeveston Community Centre since 2013 and have supported a number of activities here at GeCo such as the Youth and School holiday program, but I’ve focussed lately on teaching adults reading, writing, maths and computer skills as part of the 26TEN program. 

I strongly believe in our potential to keep learning, no matter what our age!  I’m on several boards and committees to advocate for our adult learners and I’m always looking for new mentors for the program, learners to improve their numeracy and literacy, and local businesses to support their staff gain better understanding.

If you see me at GeCo please say hi, I’m always keen to help! 

Meet Trish

I have been volunteering and consulting with GeCo since 2020, and in July 2021 I was delighted to join the team as a staff member! I started teaching digital literacy and my role has steadily developed. I’m the Centre’s programme manager – I organise all the events and workshops we run at GeCo, and I also manage the Community Workshop. I’m editor of the GeCo Newsletter and responsible for Social Media. I’m passionate about food security as well so I’m very active in Emergency Food Relief, our Pantry and events like Soup with Soul.  

Community is a driving focus for me. I’m really proud to call Geeveston home and take an active role in how we live and do things. I’m part of the Geeveston Progress Association, the Neighbourhood Watch and I’m the Chairman of the Geeveston Art Show Committee so I work with the creatives we have in the Valley. What a saturation of talent! 

I’m at the Centre every day except Tuesday, I’d love to share a cuppa and a chat.

Michelle

Community Connector

Meet Michelle

I’ve been with GeCo since early 2023 and my job title of Community Connector really captures what I do; connecting with people one on one to listen to them and provide support. I connect people with the amazing programs on offer at the Centre and with other services in the community.

I spend most of my time providing assistance to individuals and families. I see my role as providing information to empower people to make their own choices.

No problem is ever too big or small, I encourage anyone that is feeling a little overwhelmed or unsure about what to do or where to get help to pop in and have a chat.

Meet Paul

I’ve worked at GeCo since 2018, providing administrative and front desk support. I am Nicole’s “Man Friday” and enjoy a variety of projects from managing the bus through to audits and grants!

Gené

Operations Coordinator

Meet Gené

I’ve been the Operations Coordinator since early 2023 which means I support the daily operation of the Centre and the staff who work here! That means a host of activities, projects and administrative tasks that keep GeCo running smoothly. It’s a really hands-on role and I get to work with loads of different people in our community which is my favourite part of the job. I work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday!

Meet Tricia

I started with GeCo in 2023 and have been working with Lucy on the 26TEN program which focusses on Adult Literacy and Numeracy Support. I’m passionate about Family literacy and maintain close ties with wayraparattee, libraries and schools in the area. I’ve also been volunteering with GeCo for quite some time in their garden, working to restore the community garden between the annexe and the main building. There’s a lot of work but I find it very rewarding.
