Anyone can volunteer - to pursue their passion, and get involved. Volunteering enables everyone to give their experience and talents, develop further skills, and meet new people. The opportunities are endless. Income support recipients seek to volunteer for the same reasons as all Australians - to participate and help out in their communities. Because of the benefits of volunteering, Volunteering Australia and the Australian Government support volunteering as a way for job seekers to engage with and participate in the activities of their community, while possibly aiding their prospects of paid employment.
