Volunteering

Hume Volunteer Gateway offers a range of support and opportunities for volunteers and volunteer organisations, to help find and support volunteering.

The many benefits of volunteering include:

  • Learning new skills
  • Meeting people and making new friends
  • Boosting employment and education prospects
  • Helping others and making a difference in your community
  • Increasing confidence and improving wellbeing
  • Extending your network and community knowledge.
