Volunteers are the lifeblood of Wayside Chapel, keeping our front desk, op shop, community cafe and dedicated care spaces running. We conduct regular volunteer onboardings, so please complete your profile in Better Impact to receive an email when we release the dates for the next induction.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering. We look forward to meeting you!
Individual volunteering
Wayside is blessed with more than 600 active volunteers who cover over 250 shifts each and every week at Wayside. Without the commitment of our volunteers, we simply could not open the doors each day.
Our volunteers are the first to greet all visitors at our front desk, to serve customers in our Op Shops and make a hot cuppa for those in need who visit our Cafés.
Our volunteers are incredibly important to us and provide the horsepower for Wayside’s program areas. Volunteers are worth over $1 million each year in terms of the time they give to us and our visitors.
Volunteers have the opportunity to contribute across all of Wayside. Your journey as a Wayside volunteer begins by attending our Volunteer Induction Session. At this session you will gain an understanding of Wayside’s mission, programs and the huge range of opportunities to be involved in our community as a volunteer.
