Volunteering Wingecarribee has been assisting volunteers gain suitable positions at not-for-profit organisations in our area for over 20 years. Without our help, newly arrived retirees to the area who want to volunteer could not find a position.

We have been supported by our local Council by an annual contribution to cover our costs.

This year the Council has declined to fund us urging us to apply for a Community Assistance grant which may or may not be forthcoming as all other entities in the shire have been invited to apply.

We also have a Learner Driver Mentoring Program wherein our volunteers accompany disadvantaged youth in order to clock up the required 120 hours. Hundreds of volunteer hours have been spent and many young people have benefited. It is impossible to get work in the regional areas without a driver's licence.
