Overview
The Inclusive Volunteering Special Interest Group (SIG) is dedicated to ensuring that all Victorians have the opportunity to participate in volunteerism.
Our mission is to work collaboratively to:
- Advocacy: Expanding volunteer opportunities to foster social inclusion.
- Best practices: Sharing trends and insights on inclusive volunteering.
- Provide support: Engaging diverse volunteers, including multicultural, LGBTIQA+, youth, seniors, Indigenous, and those with disabilities.
- Capacity building: Helping Volunteer-Involving Organisations (VIOs) engage diverse volunteers.
- Fostering connections: Strengthening partnerships to improve opportunities for CALD communities, refugees, migrants, LGBTIQA+, Indigenous peoples, and volunteers of all ages.
- Knowledge sharing: Applying insights to enhance service delivery.
Working together, we can help you foster an inclusive and accessible organisation so anyone can thrive as a volunteer.
