Creating a volunteer ad isn’t just about filling in a form, it’s about attracting the right people to your organisation. With more opportunities available and fewer applications coming through, many organisations are either overwhelmed with unsuitable applicants or struggling to get noticed at all.
This module will show you how to create clear, engaging SEEK Volunteer ads that stand out, connect with the right volunteers, and work effectively with the EV Strengthening Communities Volunteer Navigation Hub. You’ll learn how to write strong titles and summaries that capture attention, structure your role descriptions for clarity and accessibility, and set expectations that lead to better matches and stronger volunteer retention.

This module provides a practical, real-world guide to understanding and governing risk for board and committee members of community organisations. Whether you're part of a board, a committee of management, or a subcommittee, you’ll explore how governance works in practice and how risks: financial, legal, reputational, operational, and people related must be understood, prioritised, and addressed at the governance level.
This module details key aspects of the role, responsibilities and legalities of a Board or Committee Member of a Not for Profit (NFP) organisation.
Financial information can look intimidating if you are not an accountant. Yet, as a board or committee member, you carry the legal and ethical responsibility for your organisation’s financial health.

This module introduces volunteering to young people. Learn about the benefits of volunteering, different types of volunteering, and why engaging in volunteering is a valuable choice for young people. This module leads into modules 1.2 Preparing yourself to volunteer and 1.3 Volunteering as a pathway to study and employment.
This is a practical module! In this module you will work through the process of identifying the skills, interests and experiences that you could bring to a volunteering role and how this will help in choosing the right volunteer opportunity, and when applying for a role.
This module introduces the importance of using your volunteering experiences in preparing for future employment or further study! Practical experience gained through volunteering will help develop ‘soft’ skills like teamwork, communication and networking and also provide specific technical ‘on the job’ development which can be essential for future study and work success.
Volunteer Assessors will be working with individuals who are looking for support in finding volunteer opportunities.
We will work with prospective volunteers to find place-based volunteer opportunities that match their interests, skills, and motivations for volunteering.
Support is provided by volunteer assessors such as contacting organisations on behalf of the volunteers if requested and assess if the role is suitable for them.
