Current volunteer opportunities
There are a number of tasks and areas of need where volunteers can make a difference at Learning Links. If you are interested in finding more about donating your time and expertise to help support the work of Learning Links, please contact Robyn Collins on (02) 8568 8249 or
.
Learning Links is a small charity with limited financial resources. The reason why many jobs go undone or needs remain unmet is that we simply can't afford to spend the money to get the work done or seek out advice. |
 |
We sincerely appreciate the help of volunteers and we hope you will understand that if your help requires financial support from Learning Links, we may not be in a position to provide funding to buy things such as paint, plants or tools. Our first priority with vital funds is helping children and families and as much fundraising as possible is put directly towards services for children.
If you are keen to help us, please consider the option of raising money to support the activity you would like to do. This will make your volunteering experience at Learning Links much more valuable as a team building exercise and you will know that you are truly supporting our children and families.
Some examples of areas we need assistance are as follows. Some of these activities can be done in stages, others need to be completed in the one job.

Letterbox drops - around Kingsford, Brookvale and Fairfield in particular. This needs to be planned in advance as flyers will need to be

year. |

We need teacher's resources made for the children each year. These activities including photocopying, laminating, cutting and binding. Good team building activity for a small group for one day. This could be done at your own office. |
