Volunteers play a crucial role in bringing to life community programs and events, enriching Yarra and making it a more vibrant and enjoyable place to live, work and play.

As we honour the spirit of giving back during National Volunteer Week (20 to 26 May), we’re celebrating the incredible people who volunteer their time and energy in the City of Yarra. Here are a couple of their inspiring stories:

Steven’s story – driving change as a L2P mentor

Kate’s story – positively impacting lives as a volunteer dog walker

This year’s theme, “Something for everyone,” highlights the diverse opportunities available for volunteering.  

Whether you’re passionate about environmental causes, helping your neighbours, or sharing your skills with others, you can make a meaningful difference through volunteering.
