Roles and responsibilities
The roles that volunteers perform allow the Maldon Neighbourhood Centre to operate as a professional organisation catering to the needs of the local community. Without the commitment and support of our volunteers, the Maldon Neighbourhood Centre would not be able to fulfil its mission and vision.

Hours of work
The Centre is open to the public Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 9am to 3pm. Volunteer shifts are either morning (9am – 12pm), or afternoon (12pm – 3pm). Volunteers are encouraged to commit to a regular shift either weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
If this is not possible, you can also be placed on an ‘emergency volunteer’ list. This is to cover when other volunteers are unwell, or unable to attend for other reasons.

Training
Irrespective of past experience or training, full induction and training will be provided to every volunteer before they commence their first shift.

Volunteer & save incentive program
Did you know that by volunteering at the Maldon Neighbourhood Centre, you can receive discounts on course and program fees?
For every hour per week that you volunteer, you receive 10% off the fees for the course of your choice!
