National Volunteer Week has arrived

11/05/2023

We Are The Change Makers 

National Volunteer Week (NVW) is celebrated Monday 15 - Sunday 21 May 2023. Each May, we say 'thank you' to more than 520,000 Western Australian volunteers who contribute their time to help the community.

Join Volunteering WA as we celebrate National Volunteer Week #NVW2023, a celebration of our power to drive change and ensure volunteering is inclusive of all members of the Australian community.

What type of Change Maker are you??

Inspired by the National Volunteer Week theme, The Change Makers, Volunteering Australia has developed six Change Maker types. You may be a Caregiver, Guardian, Energiser, Defender, Inquirer, Communicator, a combination of these, or a different sort of Change Maker altogether!

We invite everyone to become a Change Maker by helping to increase awareness of the vital role volunteers play in our lives this National Volunteer Week.

Help inspire new volunteers to join the journey to a future where volunteering is at the heart of Australian communities. Access the We are the Change Makers resources and share on your social channels how you make change through volunteering.

Let’s celebrate 'We are the Change Makers' this National Volunteer Week.

In the lead up to, and during National Volunteer Week, upload your Change Maker type using the hashtags #NVW2023 and #TheChangeMakers and @VolunteeringWA

There are so many resources for you!

All National Volunteer Week messaging, activity ideas, logos, social media graphics, posters and certificates are on the National Volunteer Week Hub.
