Volunteering Macarthur

Volunteering Macarthur is a volunteer referral service. We aim to provide a coordinated, strategic approach to volunteering across Macarthur.

We are a link between people interested in volunteering and not-for-profit organisations that are looking for volunteers. Volunteering Macarthur also provides support, training and advice for both volunteers and organisations.

Why involve volunteers in your organisation?
Volunteering strengthens our community and benefits individuals. Volunteers can also be of enormous value to your workplace. Their commitment and enthusiasm, together with their wide range of skills, experiences and interests, will make a worthwhile and positive contribution to any organisation.

The right volunteer can take a huge load off a busy, under-resourced agency by undertaking simple administrative jobs or supporting paid staff on projects, events or special community drives. Volunteers may be also able to offer their knowledge and skills for projects requiring special expertise.

We need your support to provide the range of opportunities required to provide for those seeking volunteer positions in this region.

How can your organisation get involved?

• Register your organisation with Volunteering Macarthur to take on volunteers. Only people that match your needs and have an interest in your service will be referred to you.
• Refer suitable clients to us if you consider they could benefit from volunteering
• Encourage your volunteers or managers of volunteers to take part in the various training opportunities we provide.
• Consider engaging with corporations or private companies who may be willing to support the community services sector through corporate volunteering.
