Volunteer Society | Western Australian Volunteers

Welcome to… VWA Volunteer Society

You don't have to be a saint to volunteer.

That’s the thing, you can have a good time volunteering, you can meet your kinda people. It’s okay (even mandatory) to get something out of it yourself. Your time is so valuable and having a volunteer experience needs to suit you.

Play

You’re a vibe hunter with a big heart.

Finding what lights you up is key. And being able to do that thing with people you connect with; that’s the joy of it.

You’re hungry for opportunities to lose (or find) yourself in the moment and contribute to meaningful change.

So, what will it be? Social, expert, or upskill.

What’s the point?

You can find connection and community through volunteering.

There are so many benefits to volunteering which may surprise you. Most people focus on the benefit to those in need, but on top of this, volunteering has also been shown to increase your self-worth, connectedness, and improve your overall mental health.

Volunteering doesn’t need to be something else that competes for your time. Volunteering is a way you can tap into multiple experiences, whether that’s meeting new people, giving back, spending time with family, keeping active or learning new skills – whatever your motivation, there’s a volunteering experience for you.

What is your passion

Choose a cause where your expertise will shine. This is your chance to give back in a meaningful way.
