Our Volunteers – Making an Impact

Bilingual Volunteers

Our bilingual volunteers provide essential language support, helping new arrivals access services while gaining their first workplace experience in Australia.

 Community Volunteers

Community volunteers come from local organizations and cultural groups, offering direct social, emotional, and practical support to new arrivals, including:

• Providing donations – Essential items for families in need.
• Offering time and skills – Mentoring, childcare assistance, and language support.
• Connecting newcomers – Linking families to services, support groups, and community networks.

Ways You Can Help

Volunteer Success Stories

Many of our new arrival volunteers have gone on to further studies, TAFE and university programs, employment, and leadership roles within their communities. For most new arrivals volunteering is a stepping stone to new opportunities and a way to give back while growing personally and professionally. For other community volunteers is a way to give back, supporting new arrivals to belong and thrive in our diverse community.
