Centre for Participation - Volunteering Resource Centre

Volunteering is at the heart of any vibrant, thriving community. That's why we offer a range of services designed to promote and strengthen volunteering within localised regions. We help recruit, train and support quality volunteers, and develop volunteer management systems for organisations that make the process simple. As the go-to place for people looking to get involved in volunteering, we're also creating opportunities to learn new skills, boost social connections, build pathways to employment, and make a difference.

We aim to:

• Strive to incorporate the principles of volunteering and maximise the benefits of volunteer involvement
• Promote the development of effective volunteer involvement strategies and practices.
• Assist organisations in involving volunteers in meaningful and useful activities that contribute to the outcomes of the organisation's work
• Advocate to ensure the rights of volunteers are protected and that they are supported to carry out their roles and responsibilities
