National Volunteer Week

About National Volunteer Week

National Volunteer Week (NVW) is Australia's largest celebration of volunteers, occurring annually in May. The celebration highlights the essential role volunteers play in our communities and serves as an invitation for individuals who have not yet volunteered to discover the joy and impact of contributing their time and skills.
