Wyndham council will host a free Volunteer Expo on Saturday, March 18 between 10am to 2pm at Encore Events Centre.
Council said the expo will feature a range of volunteer-involving organisations across all sectors and there will be people from community groups and organisations to provide information, answer questions and have a chat about volunteer positions on offer.
Wyndham mayor Susan McIntyre said volunteering brings people together, builds communities and creates a better society for everyone.
“Wyndham city is encouraging anyone who has thought of volunteering to come along to the Volunteer Expo and explore the opportunities that are available in your local community,” she said.
“Come and meet your local community groups and not-for-profit organisations who need your help.
“Volunteering has many benefits and is a great way to get involved in the local community, build social connections, make a difference, learn new skills and can be a pathway to employment.”
Last year’s Volunteer Expo showcased 44 volunteer groups working in the municipality.
More than 300 attendees visited the Encore Event Centre to peruse the volunteer options available, ranging from emergency services to sporting clubs.
