What is volunteering?
“Volunteering is time willingly given for the common good and without financial gain”.
– Volunteering Australia
Volunteering can involve any number of different activities, organisations and causes. Whether you’re helping a person in need, your local community, an endangered species, or the planet: all volunteering opportunities share the common trait of donating your time for the benefit of others.
Why do people volunteer?
People volunteer for a number of different reasons ranging from a desire to learn new skills, gaining work experience, fulfilling Centrelink obligations, having fun, helping others, forming new friendships, developing self-confidence and becoming more involved in the local community.
Whatever the reason, by volunteering you’ll be making a positive impact to your local or global community!
