Celebrating your volunteering stories
The Share Your Story initiative aims to showcase that there’s a place for everyone in the world of volunteering.
By participating you have contributed to helping:
- Highlight the vast array of volunteering roles available across Australia.
- Celebrate the dedication and impact of volunteers.
- Inspire others to find their volunteering passion, emphasising that there’s ‘Something for Everyone’.
Through your stories we can celebrate the diverse passions and talents that everyone brings to volunteering. Help us recognise the breadth of volunteer stories and the positive impact volunteers have in our communities.
If you would like to participate and share your volunteer story fill in the submissions page or email the Volunteering Australia Communications Team.
