Benefits of volunteering

Volunteering Australia defines volunteering as "time willingly given for the common good and without financial gain" (2015).

At the University of Melbourne, we share this understanding and believe that volunteering should be a rewarding and mutually beneficial experience. It also provides you the opportunity to develop new skills, gain valuable experience, build social connections, and improve your mental health and wellbeing.
