Celebrating your volunteering stories

To showcase that volunteering offers ‘Something for Everyone’ we asked volunteers across Australia to share their volunteering stories and we have been inspired by the responses.

We’ve created a Share Your Story webpage to celebrate the collection of stories highlighting the diversity of volunteering. We will be adding stories throughout National Volunteer Week and beyond.
