Volunteering

Becoming a Volunteer

Volunteering is the practice of working on behalf of others without payment for your time and services. It is a marvelous thing to donate one’s skills and time and while volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity, you will end up not only helping others, but feeling better about yourself.

 

Volunteering takes many forms. YWCA NSW offers programs in areas where disadvantage is at its greatest in NSW and often in those areas, communities lack friends and neighbours able to help.

 

Volunteering provides enormous social, cultural and economic value to the YWCA NSW and the communities in which it operates. We have volunteers of all ages who contribute - from the Board of Directors through to our mentoring programs like Big Brother Big Sister and many more in between.
