National Volunteer Week 14-20 May 2012

Volunteers - Every One Counts

National Volunteer Week (NVW) is the largest celebration of volunteers and volunteerism in Australia, and provides an opportunity to highlight the role of volunteers in our communities and to say thank you to the more than 6.4 million Australians who volunteer


Volunteering

Volunteering is the practice of people working on behalf of others without being motivated by financial or material gain. 

A wide range of volunteering positions is always available for people willing to share their time and skills. From computing, designing, accounting, looking after our environment, helping a local charity, coaching sport or teaching someone to read ... volunteers make a vital contribution to all aspects of community life.

Why Volunteer

People volunteer for many reasons:

  • contact with other people
  • an opportunity to develop new skills
  • a way to increase confidence and self esteem
  • take on a new challenge
  • forming new networks and friends
  • the experience may provide a pathway to employment
  • just wanting to help.
