If our hopes of building a better and safer world are to become more than wishful thinking, we will need the engagement of volunteers more than ever.” — Kofi Annan

Welcome to our very first ECU Vol Squad Newsletter!

Each month we will be sending out this digital masterpiece of fun and fulfilling information on our very own ECU Volunteer Program ‘Vol Squad’.

You will find profiles on our ECU volunteer of the month! Fun facts on our ECU Volunteer staff. Information and inspiring stories from our focus volunteer organisation and a preview of what exciting volunteer roles and opportunities we have coming up!

Now more than ever we need to rally together as a community to forge our way through these difficult times. Whether it be donating food to Foodbank, making phone calls with Red Cross or writing a letter through Warrior Mail. Every little bit counts.

Be part of the challenge to build a better and safer world!

Lydia, Vol-Squad Program Leader

Volunteering and Covid-19

Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation ECU is postponing all physical volunteering events and programs for the foreseeable future. This is to assist with carrying out social distancing recommendations in order to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our staff and students.

The health and wellbeing of both the ECU community and external parties are at the forefront of our thoughts in these times.

It is however crucial that we as a community stay connected with those in need and actively participate in safe volunteering opportunities.

As a community we recognise the effect isolation is going to have on our society in the coming months. We are endeavouring to bring as many virtual volunteering opportunities to you so that we can continue to contribute and engage in volunteer activities, under the parameters defined by the current situation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:If you are already engaged in volunteering activities outside of the ECU volunteer program please ensure you are aware of your rights and responsibilities as a volunteer by visiting Volunteering Australia website.
