I have always been drawn to volunteering and helping out and being involved in my community.
As a teenager, i was involved in volunteering at the local youth radio station as a radio announcer (and yes it was a main radio station listened to across mid North Coast region of NSW). Around this age I also did a number of car washes.
Moving into my early 20's and working in law firms, I was always a volunteer fire warden in the city buildings I worked in. Too many times leading people in fire drills down 34 + levels of fire stairs! 🥵
In more recent years with having children, I volunteered to cater events for Australian breastfeeding association.
Now I volunteer as secretary on the committee for Belmont Scout group as well as parent helper.
2 weeks ago was national volunteer week across Australia! I was very humbled and thankful to receive this certificate and recognition for the work I do as a volunteer!
Have you done any volunteer work? So many things in our communities wouldnt run without the help of volunteers!
