Volunteer at work

Wherever there’s World Vision, we need you!

Whatever your skill set, World Vision can use your help. Volunteer opportunities vary across our organisation. Some require specialist skills, while others need loads of enthusiasm and elbow grease. You can volunteer in any of our state offices or out in the wider community. Volunteering positions can run over the long or short term. Either way, you’re playing a role in the fight to end global poverty. At our national headquarters in Melbourne and state offices in every capital city, there are many ways you can help out.

Community volunteering

This is your opportunity to engage directly with your local community and help promote World Vision’s work through: 

Child sponsorship promotion
Have you seen a World Vision child sponsorship stand at your local shopping centre? Many dedicated volunteers help out on these stands for a couple of weeks each year, and usually for specific campaigns. 

Express your interest in child sponsorship promotion volunteering.

Faith in action
 As a Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation, World Vision believes that living out your faith is essential in helping overcome poverty and injustice.

‘Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove.’
James 2:18

Working with your church, you can partner with World Vision to raise awareness about poverty, organise a church group to participate in the 40 Hour Famine, or connect your church with a local school through our Kids Hope Aus. mentoring program.
