Volunteer work
Around 25% of 18-24 year olds participate in volunteer work each
year in Australia, Volunteer work includes all kinds of activities
in a whole range of organisations. Voluntary work can take place in
local community groups, wildlife conservation organisations, aid
work overseas or even administrative work for charities.
Volunteer work is not only beneficial from a career perspective
but extremely rewarding on a personal level. You will have the
opportunity to contribute to society and help others in need. It can
open your mind to a whole new world and in turn add personal growth
on an individual level. Potential employers are much more inclined
to hire people that have demonstrated motivation, are enthusiastic
and have altruistic traits, such as an interest in helping other
people.
Green
Corps, Young Australians for the Environment, is an Australian
Government youth development and environmental training program
for young people aged between 17 and 20 years. It provides people
with the opportunity to volunteer their time and effort to conserve,
preserve and restore Australia’s natural environment and cultural
heritage. You can find out more at their
website.
