Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre Strategic Service Plan

The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre Strategic Service Plan 2022 (the Plan) is our 4-year plan for providing support to the local volunteer sector. The Plan reflects our commitment to supporting volunteering. It also supports our community’s vision outlined in our key strategic document, the Boroondara Community Plan 2021–31, for ‘a sustainable and inclusive community’.

The Plan was developed through community consultation, research and an analysis of community need including the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The Plan describes the role the Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre (BVRC) will play in COVID-19 community recovery. This includes providing support to volunteer-involving organisations (VIOs) in rebuilding volunteer workforces and reshaping volunteer opportunities to align with changing prospective volunteers’ motivations and expectations of the volunteer experience.
