Volunteering Australia is delighted to launch We are the Change Makers, a brand new social media campaign for National Volunteer Week 2023 recognising that volunteers are Change Makers in communities around our country.
Millions of volunteers across Australia are giving their time and energy to make change in our communities. The We are the Change Makers campaign celebrates the powerful impact volunteers make supporting individuals, communities and the nation.
You can view a sample of the social media posts at the Change Makers Gallery.
What type of Change Maker are you?
Change Makers are diverse in their roles and areas of expertise. You may be a Caregiver, Guardian, Energiser, Defender, Inquirer, Communicator, a combination of these, or a different sort of Change Maker altogether!
Volunteers play a vital role in creating positive change in their communities and beyond. Their dedication and selflessness to help others creates a better future for all of us.
Volunteering has the power to change the lives of both volunteers and those they help. Whether you are a seasoned volunteer or just starting your volunteer journey, your efforts make a difference.
We invite everyone to become a Change Maker by celebrating volunteers and helping to increase awareness of the vital role volunteers play in our lives this National Volunteer Week.
Help inspire new volunteers to join the journey to a future where volunteering is at the heart of Australian communities. Access the We are the Change Makers resources below and share how you make change through volunteering on your social channels.
Let’s celebrate our Change Makers this National Volunteer Week.
