National Volunteer Week (19 – 25 May) is Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteering — and it’s officially underway!
Connecting Communities is more than a theme. It’s what volunteers do every day.
At Volunteering Australia, we want volunteers to feel what you so often give others – seen, valued, appreciated. So today and every day, we say thank you.
