Tourism/Visitor Information Centres
Volunteers help meet and greet more than 250,000 visitors to the Surf Coast each year.

Events
Volunteers play a crucial role in the smooth running of more than 300 events in the Surf Coast each year. Search the events calendar and contact event organisers to get involved.

Maternal and Child Health
The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) service occasionally needs help to transport pre-ordered baby and nursery items from Geelong Mums in South Geelong, to the Torquay Children’s Hub. Note: there are volunteer eligibility requirements to work with MCH.

Expand Your Impact program
Volunteers are invited to register for FREE online workshops to connect with community, develop new skills and/or progress an idea, in a fun, friendly format. Program runs October 2022 - March 2023.

There are many organisations to join and help in an emergency.  Most require volunteers to be trained and ready for events before they occur.
