About
We believe in the power of giving back. Our mission is to connect passionate volunteers with local non-profit organisations in need.
Volunteer for Knox is a Volunteer Resource Centre (VRC) funded by Knox City Council and our purpose is to increase volunteering opportunities in the City of Knox.
We are jointly governed through a partnership between the five Knox Neighbourhood Houses including Coonara Community House, The Basin Community Centre, Rowville Community Learning Centre and Orana Neighbourhood House.
We supports both Volunteer Involving Organisations and Volunteers. It’s simple we connect volunteers to not-for-profit organisations so that volunteer journey’s can begin as soon as possible.
