Our Residential Leader Program
At Deakin Res, our volunteer Residential Leaders (RLs) are the heartbeat of our community. They live alongside you and are the friendly faces who welcome you in, bring people together, run epic events and make sure you feel supported every step of the way. As an RL, you’ll dive into hands-on leadership training, build strong networks and pick up skills that stick with you long after uni — all while making your time on campus unforgettable.
What role do our Residential Leaders play
Our Residential Leaders (RLs) are trained in a variety of topics that give them the skills to be effective supports for our residents. Topics include Respectful Relationships, Bystander Intervention, Mental Health and Leadership. Here is a taste of what they get up to before they commence as RL's.
