Why membership?

Volunteer-involving organisations across the state are the lifeblood of the sector; providing opportunities for volunteers to support organisations across community services, education & training, support of young people, seniors and those with other physical and mental challenges, as well as family services, art, culture and environment.

We understand that recruiting, managing and celebrating volunteers is best done with support and resources. That’s why Volunteering Queensland offers membership for all volunteer-involving organisations, managers and individuals, as well as corporate companies and affiliates to ensure the sector training, resources, recruitment and management practices in place to fast-track their success.
