Workplace Volunteering

Geelong Mums Workplace Volunteers

It takes a village to raise a child, and we need your workplace team to join our village!

Together we can SHARE MORE, WASTE LESS, and ensure EVERY CHILD THRIVES.

Volunteers have always been at the heart of what we do.  

What started as a small act of kindness, has grown into big waves of generosity.  In Financial Year 2022, we helped 18,500 babies and children up to the age of 6 in need - all thanks to the generosity, time and love of our amazing volunteers. 

But we can, and must, do more.  

The 2021 Census suggests there are around 76,000 children (ages 0-6) living in poverty in Victoria.  

We urgently need your help to support ALL of these children to thrive.

WILL YOUR WORKPLACE TEAM HELP US REACH MORE BABIES AND CHILDREN? 

We have seen a 25% increase in demand for our service, but a big reduction in volunteering thanks to the pandemic.  As the cost-of-living crisis deepens, we are braced for further increases in demand, and we are determined to be able to respond.  To do so, we need urgent help to get our volunteering levels up and to meet this increase in demand for our service.

We thank you for joining our village! 

The details 

We welcome workplace teams of up to 15 people on weekdays at our South Geelong HQ.

To ensure compliance with all covid-19 and other OHS safety measures (given that we operate in a lively warehouse environment) corporate volunteering attracts a financial contribution which means that you have a trained staff member guiding your team throughout the day, helping you get the most out of your volunteering experience with us:

  •  $600 (plus GST) for groups of up to 10 people (half day session)
  •  $750 (plus GST) for groups of 11 - 15 people (half day session)
  • $800 (plus GST) for groups of up to 10 people (full day session 9.30am - 3pm)
  • $1000 (plus GST) for groups of 11-15 people (full day session 9.30am - 3pm)

This contribution also enables us to provide support to thousands of babies and children each year. For more information on why we request a financial contribution, please read this article.

We look forward to your team joining us here at Geelong Mums and helping us achieve our vision: SHARE MORE, WASTE LESS, EVERY CHILD THRIVES
