Recapping Our Volunteer Expo 2025
It’s May, the weather is getting colder and we’re celebrating National Volunteers Week so it’s time once again to recap our latest Volunteering Expo!
First off we would like to thank everyone who made our Volunteering Expo possible. We were absolutely blown away with the overwhelming positive feedback and turnout of the event. We know that none of this would be possible without help from Knox City Council and their supportive team members, along with the dedicated not-for-profit organisation stall holders.
With a much larger turnout than the previous year we’re seeing steady growth and we hope this translates to enthusiastic and willing volunteers. Our goal is ‘Connecting Communities’ to build a stronger, more inclusive and empowered community that is filled with purpose, connection and the joy of making a lasting difference.
So let’s get into the day!
The Expo brought together passionate community members, local not-for-profit organisations, and volunteers eager to make a difference. The event showcased a wide range of diverse volunteer opportunities from food relief, aged care, disability services, youth services, animals, tourism, education, emergency services, media and so much more!
We had a range of groups visit including Swinburne Migrant Students, Eastern Ranges School, Women’s Disability Hub as well as businesses looking for corporate volunteering opportunities. The room was a buzz with crowds of people gathered arounds stalls learning about organisation missions and matching this with their own interests and values.
A highlight for us was that we had a couple of parents approach us and suggest their children volunteer with us to learn new skills and do a little bit of work experience. We welcome anyone who might not yet have many repair skills but are keen to shadow some of our expert repairers.
Thank you to local artist Savannah for creating our mural, the theme was all things volunteering and we think she hit the mark with an amazing design.
We are proud to have our efforts recognised at the Volunteering Victoria Awards in 2021 and 2023.
In the spirit of reconciliation Volunteer for Knox acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
