Active Volunteering in action Active Volunteering was first piloted by Volunteering Queensland in 2009 to resounding positive feedback. It has had a significant impact on students, schools, and communities: have participated from metropolitan, regional, and remote areas have received a qualification are approved to help your school place students into diverse and rewarding volunteering opportunities Students are set up for their future. Students become tomorrow’s leaders and lifelong volunteers Active Volunteering students support the community in many ways – they help at neighbourhood centres, aged care homes, community gardens, op shops, school canteens, and sporting competitions. Students cook for those in need, provide IT audits and administration, create awareness campaigns, raise much-needed funds, assist younger grades with learning, and many more good causes. Active Volunteering students learn through supportive yet challenging industry experience and classroom theory. They build transferable skills that are valued and sought after by employers, increase certainty about the direction of their career, and become more socially concerned with a greater understanding of the issues that face their community. It is heartwarming to see Active Volunteering students go on to make a real difference in the world by starting their own businesses, volunteering overseas, undertaking further studies in areas such as justice, community services, animal welfare, disability care, environmental science, child care, health and medicine, or gaining apprenticeships and meaningful employment. We find all students are driven to continue to help others.
