The Art of Volunteering

Here at Ravensthorpe Community Centre we are always more than happy to welcome volunteers across our organisation.

We believe Volunteering is a great way for an individual to apply their skills and knowledge in many different areas. We like to encourage people to step outside of their comfort zone to bring out their full potential and explore their capabilities.

Volunteering is also a great way for people to develop their social skills and make new friends in a group setting through the many events we hold.
