Meet Marian Zwart
I have been driven mainly by my passion to assist disadvantaged groups, learning as I went, getting qualifications as I went along, she said.
I have an Advanced Diploma of Community Services (Youth Worker), as well as a Certificate IV in Assessment and Training, a Post Graduate Diploma in Counseling from UTAS and hope to do Masters next year.
Marian said she had a strong interest to assist people to find solutions to life's difficulties, and to overcome issues that stop them from realising their dreams. OzHelp services can help to unravel those difficulties and provide support to find solutions.
I love working for OzHelp Foundation Tasmania and believe the work to be not only varied but rewarding. |

Marian Zwart, OzHelp's Regional Support Coordinator / Trainer based in Launceston, has worked for a number of community-based organisations since 1989, but says OzHelp has been the most rewarding.
