From May 21 to May 27, is “Volunteers Week” In Australia and the Neighbourhood Centre wants people to visit their stall and see what volunteering is all about.
Volunteering in Australia is influenced by early experiences. Starting to volunteer early and seeing volunteering modelled in one’s family positively impacts on future volunteering behavior.
Contributing to the community is important to the majority of volunteers, and they volunteer for diverse reasons, including the personal satisfaction it gives them, the sense of belonging to community, and as a pathway to employment through the development of work experience and skills.
Australia is considered a giving nation, we have a culture of giving. Australia is ranked in the top three giving nations by the World Giving Index. This is measured by someone donating money, volunteering time to an organisation and helping someone he/she didn’t know who needed help. But more volunteers are needed in our local area.
If you have ever considered volunteering or would like to know more about volunteering come down to the stall at the mall on Thursday 24 th and see Rachael.
Otherwise call the Kempsey Neighbourhood Centre on 6562 8300 and speak to Shirley or Rachael
