Becoming a Volunteer

Volunteering is a great way to become involved in your local area, learn new skills, meet new people, share your skills, gain work experience and help build a vibrant, connected, equitable community.

Regardless of your skills and experience, there's always an opportunity to make a positive difference to your life, and the lives of others. There are more community volunteering opportunities in the Bellingen Shire than you might think. Some might be one-off opportunities, others might be ongoing, but there is something for everyone.
