To kick off 2022 we are delighted to announce that we have opened Expressions of Interest for two Working Groups: the Volunteer Management Working Group and the Corporate Volunteering Working Group.
The Volunteer Management Working Group will bring together volunteering professionals to discuss how the ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Strategy for Volunteering can be informed by best-practice volunteer involvement. Volunteering Australia recognises there is considerable volunteer management and leadership experience throughout Australia, and we want to ensure this expertise is reflected in the ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Strategy.
The Corporate Volunteering Working Group will be comprised of representatives from Australian companies with corporate volunteering programs. Corporate volunteering (also known as employee volunteering) provides a critical contribution to the community through the provision of vital surge capacity and professional skills. This Working Group will consider how the ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Strategy for Volunteering can recognise and amplify the role of corporate volunteering in Australia.
