Who can volunteer?

Pretty much anyone!! We are the Family Volunteer League and we strive to find service opportunities that the whole family can do together – from tots to Mawmaws. If there are any age restrictions (from the partners we work with) it will be clearly stated in the event details. We will provide a description of each event so that you can make the best choice for your family members’ interests and abilities.

How do we sign up?

Simply click to RSVP on any of our upcoming events.

Do you take photos at events?

Yes we do, because we love to see all the smiling faces, enjoying activities together and knowing they’re making a difference. We will share the photos with each volunteer group via our GroupMe chat. If you share your own photos on social media please tag us so we can reach more volunteer families. Please let your activity leader know if you do not wish to be photographed.

Are your volunteer events free?

Yes! Family Volunteer League do not charge for events. Occasionally, our partners ask for volunteers to provide donated items for events, e.g. food for packed lunches. In these cases, it will be clearly stated in the event description.

Can I donate to Family Volunteer League?

Thank you, but we do not accept donations. We are not a charity, we simply help match volunteer families to community partners who need their help. We do encourage you to donate directly to our community partners if you can.

Can I donate to your community partners?

Yes please do! Our community partners work tirelessly to help our communities and they can’t do it without donations. Click here to find about more about their work and find links to donate to them directly.

How do you select your community partners?

We are always on the look out for local groups who need volunteers and run events suitable for all ages. Please let us know if you have recommendations or contacts we can reach out to.

If you are a local charity in need of volunteers, please drop us an email – we’d love to connect with you!
