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 rewarding 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.
We're looking for volunteers for the following roles...
Community Local Transport Drivers
Our door-to-door transport service is critical for our clients to access our activities and programs.
We need drivers for weekday pick ups (short shifts, minivan or car) and Tuesday Outings (minivan).
If you're confident driving and love a chat, please get in touch.
