Welcome to the About Seniors Volunteering page. We aim to outline as many Volunteering options as possible to give you a wide range of selection. If you want to Volunteer for your Community, to Mentor Students, or even to travel overseas and Volunteer as a Conservation Volunteer, we give you all of those options right here!
The greatest gift in life, is to give to someone else, and Volunteering is a great way to do it, so get out there if you can and donate some of your time to make this world of ours a better place!
Lend an ear
For those who have no-one and need someone to reach out to, The Salvo Care Line offers just that, with fully trained staff that can help with most problems or make sure the caller is directed to someone who can help. The Care Line is manned by volunteers and full training is given. Telephone counselling courses are held in each state and while there may be a cost involved, there is a possibility of Government funding for your place. All volunteers must be over 21 and have a Christian commitment, though they do not need to be a member of the Salvation Army.
Courses vary in duration from 60 hours to 130 hours and a vocational certificate is awarded at the end of training. If you have compassionate nature, are a good listener and think that you can help those in need, visit the Salvos.
