Become part of Queensland’s biggest volunteering network
Volunteering Queensland (VQ) has partnered with My Community Directory (MCD) to provide you with insights about volunteering in your community so you can be more informed and connected. The Volunteer Involving Organisation Register has been developed to identify organisations across Queensland that involve or want to involve volunteers, and to help create a more connected volunteering ecosystem.
If you’re a member of Volunteering Queensland, you will hear directly from us about your involvement in the Volunteer Involving Organisation Register.
As an organisation, by becoming part of this register you will:
Get a free listing on My Community Directory to promote your services to the community.
Become part of the largest network of volunteer involving organisations in Queensland.
Receive regular updates to stay connected and build the capacity of your volunteer programs, including free access to volunteer management resources and templates, funding and grant opportunities and training to upskill your volunteer managers.
Have your voice heard about your volunteering needs and ideas. Finding and keeping volunteers is getting harder and red tape is getting more tedious, so now more than ever we need to hear from every organisation no matter how big or small you are to know your challenges so we can advocate for you.
Share important information about your volunteering programs so we can direct support and advocacy to the areas who need it most across the State. Better information about the sector will improve advocacy for volunteers and VIOs.
