I would highly recommend volunteering at Extended Families. We have an excellent team that assists in organising and running numerous events for children and youth of various ages. As a volunteer, I have had the chance to gain more confidence and become more immersed in the wider community, as well as gain important skills in leadership and teamwork.
“The Extended Families Crew has a positive, welcoming vibe for new volunteers. The team’s incredibly supportive and kind…
Volunteering as a mentor 1:1 has been a refreshing, informal way to really connect with a child & support their strengths and interests. I get to be a support for them, and it’s amazing to see how facilitating supported connections in their local community positively impacts their outlook. The friendships I have built with both the child and their family make it all feel worthwhile, 5 years strong and looking forward to the future!
Extended Families Volunteering is an extremely rewarding and worthwhile experience. We have received amazing support and training ensuring we feel capable and confident .. The coordinator and team have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Being able to encourage and support children in educational and engaging activities is the most fulfilling and exciting part of this experience.
