Who are the volunteers behind your memories?
Who protected you in times of emergency, helped bring the Perth Royal Show to life, taught you road safety and showed you around the zoo?
This August and September, West Australians are invited to take a trip down memory lane and rediscover the people behind life’s everyday moments in a new exhibition celebrating International Volunteer Year.
Presented by Volunteering WA in partnership with the WA Museum, the exhibition explores the many ways volunteers have quietly shaped our lives and communities through a collection of photographs, stories and treasured objects from across the State.
Visitors will take a nostalgic journey through the moments that define living in Western Australia, revealing the stories behind the volunteers who made them possible.
With 1.5 million volunteers in Western Australia, there’s a myriad of extraordinary contributions from ordinary people who stepped up to help others.
