Volunteering is a driving force in Western Australia. It underpins essential services, addresses issues and advances causes, helps to create stronger communities. It provides the opportunity for everyone to contribute in a way that is meaningful for them.

As the peak body, Volunteering WA champions the volunteering community and provides support to volunteer involving organisations throughout the state. When you become a member you access a great range of member benefits and services, however your membership means more than that. It’s about working together to harness the power of volunteering, to promote stronger, healthier more inclusive communities.

Support the professional development of your volunteer managers

Skilled volunteer managers are crucial to the success of volunteer programs. When volunteer leaders are supported, volunteers thrive, services are stronger, and communities benefit.

Across Western Australia, more than 1.5 million volunteers make an incredible impact every day. But that impact is only possible because skilled leaders are there to recruit, support, train and guide them.

Volunteering WA is here to help upskill and support your organisation’s volunteer coordination. We do this through training sessions and workshops, peer-to-peer networking opportunities, nationally recognised certifications, continuous professional development and more.

Whether you are experienced or just starting out in volunteer management, this network forum will be of great interest to you.
