Why Volunteer?

Volunteers United aims to provide our beloved student volunteers with experience, community, and a chance to give back and make an impact!

FUN

Whether you're with your mates or looking to find new ones, you can be part of a warm community that makes sure you have an enjoyable time making the world a better place!

FLEXIBLE

You get to choose how much time you give and with tons of opportunities available you will surely find one that fits your schedule!

FEELS GREAT

Giving back to the community and helping someone out is sure to give you the warm and fuzzies.

FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills and build connections. It's a valuable addition to any resume and can open up future opportunities. Additionally, if you volunteer for 20 hours, this will appear on your Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) which looks great to employers!
