Volunteering in Bayside Information Session
We kick-started National Volunteer Week 2021 with an online Volunteering in Bayside Information Session.
Watch the recording to discover how you can give back to your community through the diverse range of volunteer opportunities available in Bayside.
Hear from Councillor and long-time Bayside volunteer, Fiona Stitfold. Discover the many benefits of volunteering, not only to the individual but also to the broader community. Learn about the many volunteer programs available with Bayside City Council and local volunteer organisations.
Volunteering with Bayside City Council
Bayside City Council manages a range of programs which rely on volunteers to deliver services to the Bayside community. We welcome volunteers of all ages and abilities and endeavour to match each individual with meaningful roles within the community.
Please note that in order to minimise the spread of COVID-19, some of Bayside City Council's volunteer programs are currently suspended until further notice. Vacant volunteer roles will be updated as we re-activate our volunteer programs over the coming months.
