Who are our Volunteers?
Our volunteers have a wide range of backgrounds, skills, talents, interests and motivations for volunteering. We have collated a short film and some of our volunteer stories below explaining their experiences as these may resonate with you. We like to understand the specific skills or experience the volunteer is looking to gain and use this to place them in a suitable role, as this allows us to find a good fit for the positions we have available.
What are their Volunteer Experiences?
Some of our Volunteers created a film on why they decided to volunteer and their experience at SAcommunity on Youtube >>here: https://youtu.be/vF1xk_dsFEE

Tell me some Volunteer Stories
Some of our volunteers may be in a similar/familiar situation to you. Several in our team have written articles on their volunteer work and projects, opportunities for training, mentor assistance received, and their contribution to SAcommunity >>here: Volunteer Stories
What is the SAcommunity Council Volunteer Partnership program?
A number of our volunteers are also shared with South Australian Councils. Stathis Avramis and Rex Porter (in the photo above) also volunteer for the City of Prospect and are involved in the SAcommunity Council Volunteer Partnership program, to maintain community service contact details in the Prospect council area.
The data is used by the Prospect Council for community communication, grants and events such as the Prospect Spring Fair to engage with services operating in the council. 'Shared' City of Prospect volunteer Flavia also publishes articles on Prospect community services for SAcommunity media to reach a wide audience across the community sector.
How can my local government council become involved?
If your council is interested in joining the SAcommunity Council Volunteer Partnership program to improve the community information and capture stories on services in their council area contact the Community Information Coordinator cmcintyre@infoxchange.org
