Looking to volunteer?
Volunteering is the life blood of our community and it’s wonderful that you have an interest in being involved and giving your time.
Sometimes people ‘fall into’ volunteering. Other times, people make a conscious decision to volunteer and then face the challenge of how to start. Here are some steps you can take as you embark on your volunteer journey:
- Think about your skills and interests — which of these would you most like to use, improve or obtain in your volunteering activities?
- If there is a specific organisation you’d like to volunteer with, check out their website and approach them directly.
We can connect you with resources to help find the role that’s perfect for you.
Volunteering is all about making a difference in your community; it also benefits you personally as it offers the chance to:
- Act on your values, passions and interests
- Make new friendships and create professional networks
- Gain work experience and learn new skills
- Enjoy new social and cultural experiences
- Develop personally and build confidence
- Enjoy better physical and mental health
- Challenge yourself in a supportive environment
- Feel warm and fuzzy about helping your community
- Have fun!
