Volunteering
Volunteering during COVID-19
Now, more than ever, is a good time to consider volunteering with a local group or organisation. It can be a great way to connect with our community and make a real difference.
There are a number of local volunteering opportunities outside of Council where you can help support others during this time.
Council is still receiving applications for new volunteers for future activities. Complete the Volunteer Application Form to register your interest. Once we receive your form, we will contact you.
For further information on volunteering, please read our Volunteer Policy or email jobs@woollahra.nsw.gov.au
If your organisation serves the Woollahra community and is looking for volunteers during COVID-19, please email information to community@woollahra.nsw.gov.au
