What does volunteering
involve?
At Evergreen we offer a wide range of volunteering opportunities perfect to suit the wide range of interests and skillsets we have in the community. You can volunteer with us as often or as little as you want from helping support a one off event or helping with some of our weekly services.
All volunteers will attend a welcome induction when joining and receive the relevant training required for the service they choose to support. This ensures that all volunteers feel confident, supported and connected to Evergreens visions and values.
