Would you like to contribute meaningfully to the community?
Warragul Community House prides itself in being a safe, friendly, accepting work environment that values each and every person coming into the House, be it participants for a course, clients, stakeholders, staff and volunteers.
Our volunteers are crucial to our core business; in turn, they get the opportunity to grow their skills and develop their workplace expertise. Our volunteers help manage the office, coordinate student enrolments, run activities, keep the house looking delightful, and even serve on our Committee of Governance. In a million ways both large and small, our volunteers support students and staff in the House on a daily basis. We couldn’t function without them!
Annie has been volunteering with us for approximately 5 years and works on the front desk with us 2 days per week. Annie is always there with a calm and friendly welcome and the first one to offer a tea or coffee and a chat.
Karina has been volunteering with us for approximately 3.5 years. Karina works on the front desk 2 full days per week. Very rarely you will find Karina sitting down or relaxing, she is such a go-getter and is always hard at work and taking on so many extra tasks to help out at WCH.
Shirley has been a volunteer for the past 7 years at WCH supporting the Front Desk, which she says she thoroughly enjoys doing, and is the reason she goes above and beyond to serve the community, as it gives her joy; meeting people, assisting them and also loves being able to work with other volunteers and staff.
