We aim to enrich lives and connect communities through volunteering
We believe that those who are prepared to volunteer, provide resources or run a volunteering organisation need plenty of support. That’s why Volunteering SA&NT was founded.
Since 1982, Volunteering SA&NT has been the peak body for volunteering. We’re a not-for-profit that provides support to individual volunteers, volunteer involving organisations, businesses and communities who want to make a difference.
How? We form strategic partnerships and provide a wide range of services which will enhance an organisation’s and individual’s contributions, enabling them to have maximum impact and really benefit communities.
What we do
We provide practical support to volunteers, volunteer-involving organisations and businesses in so many ways – from events to education.
