Volunteering with EdConnect Australia is incredibly rewarding. EdConnect Australia’s volunteers help students throughout the school year in a myriad of different ways. Volunteers of all ages, and from all walks of life, bring new skills, new stories, and new faces into the lives of students within the school environment, to enrich students’ lives, often bringing stability and a trusted confidant where it may be lacking in a young person’s life.
EdConnect provides the framework to match volunteers with young people in schools, who just need extra help and guidance to enhance their academic and social achievement. EdConnect’s training will help prepare you for your volunteer role. The team is here to help make sure your volunteering is rewarding, impactful and memorable.
During the year, EdConnect’s ConnectEd initiatives make sure there are various events to attend, from local coffee catch‑ups, online refresher training and workshops to more formal functions – all a great way to cross paths with like‑hearted people, changing lives. Volunteers are principally placed within government schools – we hope one of partner schools is convenient to you.
