Volunteer for Plan

Volunteering

Volunteering is a great way to be a part of Plan's work. Volunteer support extends the reach of Plan's communication and fundraising in a cost effective way. Our volunteers are collectively called Friends of Plan. They are a diverse group of people who volunteer for Plan in the following ways.

Ways to Volunteer for Plan

National Office Friends of Plan - we are recruiting!
We always have work that needs to be done in our National Office in Melbourne and we have a group of volunteers who help us on a regular basis with the day-to-day running of our busy office.

National Office Volunteers ยป We currently require a number of administration volunteers to assist our Supporter Service team in our National Office in Melbourne.

To register for volunteer opportunties, join or login to MyPlan and subscribe to volunteer news under the My Profile section.  You will be alerted of any opportunties as they arise in our national office. (Please note: in the interest of child protection, all volunteers will be required to complete and submit a Police Check application when applying for volunteer duties).

Meet some of Plan's wonderful office volunteers.

Friends of Plan Groups
With our national office in Melbourne, we rely on our city-based Friends of Plan groups to extend our work around Australia. Their activities have included everything from theatre parties and market stalls to black tie dinners, film nights, photographic exhibitions and overseas visits to Plan communities!

To join or start up a Friends of Plan group in your city send a message to our Volunteer/Event Coordinator.
