For some Vinnies’ volunteers, this is a chance to give something back to the community, to use their skills and experience in ways that make a difference in the lives of people who need their help. For others, it is a chance to learn new skills and to get experience in a supportive environment.
There are a wide variety of volunteering opportunities. From working in a Vinnies store or depot – to tutoring refugee families – to taking disadvantaged children out on outings – to befriending an elderly or disabled person in your neighbourhood… volunteering for Vinnies is rich and rewarding experience!

Vinnies volunteers help us to deliver much needed services to the community. Without volunteers, we would not be able to provide assistance to as many people.
With your help we could reach even more people than we do now.
Our Vinnies volunteers help with a broad range of services, from assisting in our retail Centres, to working in our homeless services, to providing friendship and mentoring to kids on our Youth camps, or assisting us with our administration.
Where volunteers are placed depends on their ability, skills, availability, geographic requirements, and government regulations.
To register your volunteer interest, please complete the following REGISTRATION FORM.
