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!
