Open Events and Training
Join us for a variety of open events and delve into some eLearning resources designed to inform, connect, and engage. Whether you're volunteering for the first time or you've been doing it your whole life, there may be something that you would like to learn more about. All are welcome, and everything listed below is free.
As new training becomes available it is listed so keep checking as there is a real variety.
There is some really helpful information within the Onboarding Documents section that can help prepare you for volunteering. Each organisation will have their own policies, guidance and volunteer agreement that you will follow, but these documents have been created to give you a bit of background understanding.
Some of the training and eLearning may require booking through Eventbrite or similar, and you will be sent an email notification for signing up, others may require you to create an account to access the training. Please remember to keep a note of login details so that you can access again for any refreshers.
