Volunteer at V4U Day

V4U Day is Victoria University’s largest community volunteering event, held over a full day every year.

The event takes place in Semester 2, and involves students, alumni and staff members taking part in volunteering activities across the western suburbs of Melbourne. Since V4U Day began in 2011, we have partnered with more than 150 organisations in Melbourne’s west.

What happens on a V4U Day

As a V4U Day volunteer, you will arrive at Footscray Park Campus by 8am, enjoy a free breakfast and entertainment, and collect your V4U Day T-shirt, cap and lunch pack.

After reporting to your project team leader and meeting other volunteers on your assigned project, you'll be transported by bus to your project.

You will complete a volunteering project with other volunteers. Once your project is completed, we'll pick you up from your location and drive you back to campus for the after-event celebration party.
