Volunteer

Volunteers are an important part of the fabric of McAuley. Each volunteer brings skills and experience that add value to the range of supports and programs that McAuley provides.

Volunteers support McAuley’s vision to enable women and children to participate in society on their own terms – empowered to achieve their highest potential, while also benefiting from the unique and valuable personal experience of contributing to a vital community service.

We have a range of flexible volunteering opportunities including tutoring school-aged children, gardening, cooking, events, fundraising opportunities and many more.
