Volunteering at Minda
Join the Minda Community. Become a volunteer!
Here at Minda, we are all about community, the people we support, our staff, volunteers, students, and our neighbours.
Volunteering at Minda is primarily about people enriching and empowering the lives of people with disability, however as a volunteer you’ll have the opportunity to develop and expand your skill base, meet new people, explore career development, and discover training opportunities.
We are so grateful for the support of volunteers. We couldn’t achieve what we do without you!
Current Volunteer Vacancies
We need volunteers for all sorts of things - if you don't see your interest here, please contact us as we can find something for you!
EVENT VOLUNTEERS WANTED - FUN TIMES AHEAD – SPOTS WILL FILL FAST!
Love the buzz of a vibrant community event? Want to give back while having an absolute blast? This is your chance to be part of something magical!
Following the huge success of last year’s event, Minda’s Community Christmas Carols & Markets is back – and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever!
This joyful day isn’t just about carols and candy canes – it’s a feel-good fundraiser, with every dollar raised going toward supporting South Australians with intellectual disability. By volunteering, you're not just giving your time – you're helping to create brighter futures and build a more inclusive community.
What’s in store?
Expect a festive feast of:
- Market stalls & food trucks
- Live music & stage entertainment
- Santa’s Cave & face painting
- Amusements, games, and even a petting zoo!
Event details
- Setup Days: Friday 5th & Saturday 6th December
- Event Day: Saturday 6th December
- Time: 2pm – 7pm (Pack down 7pm–9pm)
- Location: Minda, Brighton
Last year, over 5,500 visitors joined the fun – and this year, we’re ready to go even bigger. But we can’t do it without you!
How can you help?
We’ve got a variety of roles to suit every personality:
- Set-up & pack-down crew
- Face painters & game hosts (hello, Pluck-a-Duck!)
- Santa’s Cave helpers
- Petting zoo attendants
- Creative types for decorating & festive flair
No experience necessary – just bring your Christmas cheer and team spirit. Whether you’ve got a few hours or a whole afternoon to spare, we’d love to have you onboard.
Help us spread joy this festive season. Volunteer today – spots will go quickly!

Help Minda build a more connected neighbourhood by sharing your skills, interest and passion with others and run weekly, fortnightly, or monthly inclusive activities. If you enjoy socialising, have a passion for community engagement, are committed to a regular pattern of volunteering and have good communication skills, we'd love to hear from you! From mums and bubs groups to a book club or needle work sessions - the sky is the limit!

Volunteer types
Get involved by providing direct support. This may be supporting a person with intellectual disability, administration support, helping in the garden or on a special project.
Lend a hand with fundraising by Christmas Gift Wrapping in Adelaide Arcade or helping out at our events.
The benefit to our people and to the students who volunteer is an experience that both parties find extremely rewarding.
Our volunteer specialist will work with your organisation to identify a project that suits your team and of course, is of great value to the people we support.
