Many Aboriginal and Islander people already do a lot of informal volunteering within their own communities. Sometimes formal volunteering in other organisations and countries can really give you some useful skills and contacts. The skills you can learn through volunteering can give you more options for your future career, what you can do for your community and what you can do in your life.

If you are thinking about volunteering, talk to our us in Alice Springs or Darwin and tell us what you would like to do. You'll be helping others, as well as yourself.
