Volunteering

The face of volunteering is changing

Volunteering is a lifestyle choice and we recognise people volunteer for a variety of reasons. Our volunteers are a diverse group including parents with grown-up children, active retirees, students, corporate groups and Albert Street Uniting Church congregation members.

For those thinking of returning to work after taking time off to look after children or family members, volunteering can provide a valuable stepping stone back into the work force. It is also a fantastic way to gain further experience in a desired field for future study or employment.

Increasingly, corporations and business enterprises recognise the benefits of volunteering and use corporate volunteering for team-building while giving something back to their community.
