Who can volunteer?
A volunteer can be any member of the community who would like to give freely of their time, talent and energy to others through individual and collective action, without expectation of financial reward.
The key points to remember about formal volunteering are that it is an activity that takes place:
- in or through a not-for-profit organization;
- is for the benefit of the community;
- is undertaken of the volunteer's free will and without coercion;
- for no financial payment; and
- in designated volunteer positions only.
