The Sutherland Shire is lucky to have many generous volunteers who give their time and expertise to help others in the community.
It's National Volunteer Week between 13 to 19 May - so it's even more important that we say 'thanks a million' to all our volunteers for their time, dedication, perspiration, skills and good humour! And if you've yet to volunteer, we hope to welcome you to the family soon.
Clean Up Australia Day volunteers
Animal Shelter volunteers

Registration in a council run volunteer program
To safeguard both the individual and council, it is necessary for all new volunteers to be formally registered before participating in a volunteer program.
Volunteer Program Coordinators will deliver an induction and training program as well as provide support for all volunteers.
Volunteer Program Coordinators have the right to refuse the services of volunteer applications if their skills do not match those required for the task.
