Volunteering
The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre (BVRC) is a core service of the City of Boroondara and is committed to expanding and extending volunteer activities in Boroondara, and surrounding areas, through promoting, supporting and assisting the voluntary involvement of the community in community programs.
To facilitate this, the Centre offers a volunteer referral interview for prospective volunteers to find suitable volunteer work across the community with our member agencies.
If you would like to find out more about volunteering and how the BVRC can help, please email bvrc@boroondara.vic.gov.au or phone 9882 5860. Prospective volunteers can use these contact details to make an appointment to see us. Make sure you visit our new Facebook site by clicking here.
If you are a community organisation and would like to become a member of the BVRC, contact us to request an agency registration kit.
Volunteering Information Sessions: The BVRC provides information sessions on volunteering for members of the public. Topics include (but are not limited to): volunteer opportunities available through the BVRC, volunteer profiles, rights and responsibilities of volunteers, and how to prepare for volunteer interviews. Previous recipients of this service have included TAFE Colleges, Secondary Schools, Universities, as well as not-for-profit organisations.

Some of the reasons people volunteer include meeting new people, gaining experience and staying active and involved in their community.
There is no such thing as a ‘typical’ volunteer who can be categorised by age, gender, race or religion. Volunteers are people from many different cultural backgrounds; from all age groups; a range of educational backgrounds and skill levels, both in and out of the paid workforce; and they are both male and female.
Volunteering covers a wide range of opportunities.
