Volunteering

Victoria University offers many opportunities for you to volunteer both within the University and in the community.

The best way to keep up to date with all these opportunities is to join the VU Vollies Program, where you receive fortnightly emails detailing these opportunities.

You can also volunteer at V4U Day – our biggest volunteering event where we give back to the western suburbs community.

Other volunteering opportunities open from time to time, such as the Seeds to Success program. Check the VU social media channels, and the events and news feed on the homepage to find out about opportunities as they arise.
