It’s National Volunteer Week – a chance to recognise and celebrate the essential role volunteers play in strengthening our communities.
In Victoria, there are over 3.3 million volunteers who give their time and energy to vital causes across the state.
This year’s National Volunteer Week theme is ‘Connecting Communities’. By volunteering, you can find connection, belonging and build new skills, all while giving back to your local community.
Connect with your community by attending an event near you. Learn more about National Volunteer Week events.
If you know an inspiring volunteer or volunteer involving organisation, you can nominate them for the Victorian Volunteering Awards. Learn more about the Victorian Volunteering Awards.
National Volunteer Week runs from Monday 19 to Sunday 25 May 2025.
