Celebrating your volunteering stories
We’re inviting volunteers across the country to ‘Share Your Story’. Tell us why you volunteer and how it’s made a difference in your life. Your story and experience will demonstrate the value of volunteering and build momentum for a stronger volunteer nation.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this initiative and showcasing the power of volunteering.
If you would like to participate and share your volunteer story fill in the submissions page or email the Volunteering Australia Communications Team.
