Members play a vital role in realising our mission of leading, advancing, and celebrating volunteering in WA. It is through these relationships that we extend our reach and impact in the wider community and mutually support capacity building across the sector and the State. We also rely on members to fulfil our representative function as the peak body; member feedback and participation informs our activities for advocating on their behalf and for the volunteering sector.<\/p>\n
