collage_250x248When a World Vision volunteer talks to someone about child sponsorship, asks a retailer to put a donation box on their counter or helps out at an event, something incredible happens!

As a volunteer you may not get to see the difference you are making in the lives of children and communities in need, but the truth is the change you are helping to bring about is huge!
Our volunteers come from all walks of life - from professionals who want to contribute their skills and expertise, to teenagers who want to do something meaningful in their free time, to retirees with a passion to help change lives.

In this section of the website you will find information on how to register as a volunteer, the ways in which you can participate and inspiring stories of other volunteers.
