Why Volunteer

One of the better-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Unpaid volunteers are often the glue that holds a community together. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. However, volunteering is a two-way street, and it can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, gain work skills and boost your social skills.

Volunteer Induction Sessions

Face-to-face monthly induction sessions are currently on hold due to the Covid-19 restrictions but you can contact us to complete an online induction session by emailing your expression of interest or calling the number below.

All volunteers must email office@volunteerforknox.com.au or call 0429 968 822 to register to attend the compulsory induction session that explains your rights and responsibilities as a volunteer and it's where the team starts working with you to find a suitable opportunity.
