Volunteering Update When: 7 May 2024 Volunteering Victoria Award We are thrilled to share that Ardoch has been acknowledged for our strong partnerships with schools, corporate and community groups to deliver our workplace volunteer programs. From over 450 applications, we were honoured to be recognised as a Finalist for the Volunteering Partnerships Award. Pictured are some of our team with her Excellency Professor the Honourable Gardner AC at Government House for the Volunteering Awards on Tuesday. Thank you to Volunteering Victoria for organising a fantastic afternoon, and congratulations to all the amazing winners and finalists! Recruiting Volunteers Throughout Victoria you may have seen our Volunteer team out an about. Over the past few weeks our Volunteer team have been travelling around to different volunteering expos in universities and councils. We are expanding our volunteer base to ensure that students get the best experience possible. These volunteers may help to interview students, sit down and eat lunch while discussing next steps, sit down with groups of students and discuss their career and the path they took to get there or maybe they will spend some time into in the classroom with students helping them out for 2 hours a week. Our staff have had so much fun getting to meet and talk with people about Ardoch and how they can help. We can’t wait for them all to get out there and help the students along their paths in life. Thank you to everyone who came and spoke to us at any of the events.
