National Volunteering Week will be a chance for Volunteering Central Coast to celebrate our 35 years of supporting volunteering on the Central Coast and calling for volunteers to join in the celebrations and the recognition of the extraordinary work they do every year, through our National Volunteer Week Central Coast Awards<\/em>. We will also be conducting our annual Expo for people interested in volunteering on Wednesday 25th<\/sup> May at the Erina Centre, Erina Fair, and present the Volunteer Awards at the Expo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Expo provides information on volunteering opportunities available on the Central Coast, this free event will see more than 40 local organisations showcase how extensive and varied volunteering can be. Opportunities can be one-off or on a continuing basis and can range from working with animals driving a community bus, being a tourist guide or companion for a mature aged person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVolunteering brings people together for many reasons\u201d, said Fiona Morrison, Executive Officer at Volunteering Central Coast. \u201cNot only is it a great way to learn new skills, meet people, and give back to the community, it is also a way to improve your own health and wellbeing. In addition, volunteering helps to get workplace experience and follow a path to employment\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attendees, who express an interest in volunteering and join in the \u201cBridge to Volunteering\u201d or \u201cEvent Volunteering\u201d seminars, will have an opportunity to win several excellent prizes on offer during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the expo, an important part of the day will be the recognition of some individual volunteers who work in the Central Coast Community as a part of the Central Coast National Volunteer Week Awards. Categories include Volunteer of the year, Young Volunteer of the year and Living Legend Volunteer (10 or more years of service), Volunteer Team, Volunteer Managers and Corporate Volunteers for 2022.
