Volunteering with
our community
Volunteering keeps the wheels at Balwyn Evergreen turning. As an NFP organisation, we rely on the skills and generosity of our volunteers to help us provide our essential programs and services to our community.
Looking for a volunteer opportunity?
Volunteers are integral to the daily happenings at Balwyn Evergreen Centre, performing important roles such as driving the transport shuttle, serving meals, walking dogs and visiting people in their homes. Our volunteers help us deliver our quality services and, in turn, they benefit from the positive experience of being part of our community and making a difference in the lives of seniors.
Your perfect volunteer role is waiting!
Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme
Seniors are particularly vulnerable to becoming socially isolated, especially if they don't have any family around. Our volunteers play an important part in keeping them connected with regular visits. If you like to chat and are willing to spend time with a senior in their home, then we'd love to hear from you.
