In the past year, over 400 generous and highly-skilled volunteers in Sydney contributed 27,150 hours to help us support people seeking asylum.
A range of volunteer opportunities are available in reception and administration, community engagement, healthcare, education, and finding work. You can also cook for our community lunches, help our fundraising team or communications team, or connect people with technology.
Together, we create a more welcoming and just society.

We’re looking for groups of 4 – 6 friends to help cook and serve community lunches at our Newtown and Auburn centres to around 40 people seeking asylum. Community lunches create opportunities for our clients to be more connected to their wider community and socialise with others while accessing a nutritious meal. And they’re fun!
Volunteering as an organisation makes an impact for people seeking asylum and brings your team together. Get in touch to find out more.
