Volunteering is an important role in building strong and connected communities. It helps contribute to the healthy neighbourhoods in various ways.

In South Australia, there are more than 11,000 volunteers who actively participate in community initiatives.

Volunteers are made up of residents, business owners, community leaders, students, parents, retirees – anyone willing to lend their time to support others!

Volunteering opportunities

The types of volunteering opportunities and roles available may differ from one council to another, but there is a place for everyone to contribute, regardless of age, ability or prior experience.

Being a volunteer you not only contribute to the betterment of your community but gain personal growth, valuable experiences and the chance to make lasting connections with like-minded individuals.

Volunteering types and roles may vary from council to council but there is a role for everyone to play regardless of age, ability and experience.
