Volunteer to share and learn skills

Do you have a hobby or sport that you love, or a cause that you are passionate about? Volunteering is a good way to share this with others and get involved in your community. Volunteering can be a fun way to meet new people and renew your confidence by seeing how your efforts make a difference. You may even develop skills and experience that help you in other aspects of your life, like finding employment.

People with all types of backgrounds and experience can volunteer. You can volunteer individually, or get together with a team of family or friends.

Volunteers take part in lots of different types of activities: arts and crafts, mentoring or tutoring someone, fundraising, food service, sports, gardening and working with youth to name a few.

If you are looking for a volunteering opportunity, the GoVolunteer website can be a useful place to start. It is a free resource and available to anyone who is interested in volunteering. Simply search to find a volunteer opportunity that interests you and then apply online directly to the advertising organisation. All organisations listed on GoVolunteer are approved not-for-profit organisations with current volunteer insurance.
