Volunteering at Wonthaggi Neighbourhood Centre

It takes a team of volunteers to sustain a vibrant and friendly Neighbourhood Centre. Volunteering can help you connect with others, learn new skills, career development and can even contribute to your health and wellbeing.

Our mission

  • Provide a safe, welcoming environment where people can meet to learn and share ideas, friendship, skills, and information.
  • Build social capital and improve social health and wellbeing, by providing a diverse range of programs and activities in response to local needs, which support and connect individuals and groups in their participation in community life.
