National Student Volunteer Week (NSVW) is an opportunity to acknowledge the impact that student volunteers make through volunteering.
Coordinated and delivered nationally by Volunteering Queensland since 2013 and supported by Volunteering Australia and all State and Territory Peak volunteering bodies, National Student Volunteer Week 2025 (#NSVW25) acknowledges and celebrates student volunteers, and promotes volunteering to students and young people across Australia.
This year National Student Volunteer Week will run from 4 - 10 August 2025
The theme for National Student Volunteer Week in 2025 is Powered by Purpose. #PoweredbyPurpose shines a light on the motivations that drive young volunteers. It’s about the fuel, values, beliefs, and passion that inspire students and young people to contribute to causes they care about.
This theme invites reflection and storytelling. Why do you give your time? What cause drives you? It reinforces that student volunteering is rooted in meaning, not just action.
Get involved, spread the word, and use #NSVW25 to share your stories of impact. We invite all education providers, volunteer organisations and students across the country to participate in National Student Volunteer Week.
