After joining Discord, you’ll be welcomed into the community where you can meet other members, explore the pathway communities you joined and take part in events and activities. 

Discord allows members from across Australia to stay connected throughout the week in one place. 

It’s where we host community conversations, daily Bible Verse, online events, games and our Careers, Volunteer and Fundraising Communities. 

Absolutely. 

Discord is free and easy to use, and we’ll guide you through getting started. 

Yes! 

Many members join without knowing anyone else. Co-Pilot is designed to help young people build genuine friendships and connect with others who share similar interests and values. 

Of course. 

There’s no pressure to jump straight into conversations or events. Many members take some time to explore the community before getting involved. 

No. 

Some members love aviation, while others are passionate about mission, serving others or simply being part of a community of young people. 

Not at all. 

Co-Pilot is for anyone interested in learning more about MAF, growing in their faith, building friendships or exploring ways to make a difference. 

No. 

Volunteering and fundraising are optional opportunities available through Co-Pilot. You’re welcome to simply be part of the community without any pathways. 

Throughout the year we will offer online events including games, staff Q&As, Career Nights, Volunteer Nights, movie nights, mission discussions and other community events. 

As Co-Pilot grows, we’ll also offer in-person gatherings and other opportunities where possible. 

Absolutely. 

Co-Pilot is designed as a national community, so most activities are available online and can be enjoyed from anywhere in Australia. 

Yes. 

As Co-Pilot grows, we hope to offer optional state-based meetups, volunteer opportunities, trips and other events in different parts of Australia or Overseas. 

Absolutely! 

If they’re aged 16-25, we’d love to welcome them to the Co-Pilot community. They just have to signup via the Co-Pilot form on the MAF Australia website. 

Pathway Communities help members explore different ways to get involved with MAF. 

You can join communities focused on: 

• Careers  

• Volunteering  

• Fundraising  

Each community provides different unique opportunities to connect with others, meet MAF staff and participate in pathway-specific events and discussions. 

By being an active member of the community. 

Participating in conversations, attending events and engaging with the community helps you earn XP, unlock new roles and celebrate your involvement. 

That’s okay. 

Life gets busy! You’re always welcome back whenever you’re ready to reconnect with the community.

Co-Pilot is MAF Australia’s community for young people aged 16-25. 

Our vision is to help young adults build friendships, grow in their Christian faith, develop a heart for mission and discover practical ways to engage with MAF. 

Young people are looking for meaningful community, purpose and opportunities to make a difference. 

Co-Pilot was created to provide a place where they can connect with others, grow in their faith and explore how God may be calling them to serve through MAF. 

Co-Pilot is open to young people aged 16-25 who agree to our Community Guidelines and values. 

Members aged 16-17 require a parent or guardian to complete registration on their behalf. 

Discord allows young adults from across Australia to connect in one place, participate in online events and stay engaged with the Co-Pilot community between in-person opportunities. 

The safety and wellbeing of our community is a priority. 

Co-Pilot has Community Guidelines, safeguarding procedures, moderated spaces and an onboarding process designed to help create a respectful and welcoming environment. 

Like any online platform, Discord cannot eliminate every risk, which is why we encourage safe online behaviour and provide clear ways to report concerns. 

Every member completes a registration process before joining. 

Members aged 16-17 require a parent or guardian to complete registration before access is provided. 

Once approved, members complete Discord onboarding before joining the community. 

The Co-Pilot community is overseen by MAF Australia staff and approved moderators who help maintain a respectful, welcoming and safe environment. 

Discord includes private messaging features. 

We encourage members to use public community channels wherever possible and provide guidance on safe online behaviour. Members are encouraged to report any behaviour that makes them feel uncomfortable. 

MAF Australia is committed to providing a safe environment for everyone involved in Co-Pilot. 

We have Community Guidelines, safeguarding policies, moderator oversight and processes for responding to concerns. We encourage respectful communication and provide ways for members to report behaviour that makes them feel unsafe. 

Moderators may respond with reminders, warnings, temporary restrictions or removal from the community where appropriate. 

Serious safeguarding concerns will be managed in accordance with MAF Australia’s safeguarding policies and legal obligations.
