The Centre for Volunteering aims to improve access to volunteer opportunities for young people. The Youth Volunteer program assists schools, individual young people, and youth services to connect with not-for-profit organisations. The youth volunteer program reduces barriers to young people getting out in their communities and making an impact through volunteering.
