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!
Gift Wrapping
Minda has a long standing partnership with Adelaide Arcade where a team of fantastic volunteers give up their time to wrap gifts for the community and raise money for Minda. There are two wrapping events throughout the year - Mother's Day and Christmas. Gift wrapping services are available the Friday and Saturday before Mother's Day and from 1-24 December in the lead up to Christmas. All funds raised helps us to do more for the people we support.
YOUR ROLE: Volunteers are split up into 3-hour shifts across the gift wrapping days.
Acoustic Guitarist
Do you love the spotlight and have great acoustic entertainment skills? If yes, then we want YOU! INC Café, a fully inclusive café located on Minda’s North Brighton site, is looking for a volunteer guitarist. INC Cafe offers an inclusive and family friendly space with food and drink specials during the week and is just minutes from the beach.
YOUR ROLE: Perform a few sets of acoustic music Monday - Friday 12 - 2pm at INC Cafe - with the option for additional opportunities! Must have own equipment.
Attention senior retired (not too serious) musos...

We are looking for someone to provide melody e.g., harmonica, keys, accordion, guitar. Instrumental intros.

Volunteer types

The benefit to our people and to the students who volunteer is an experience that both parties find extremely rewarding.
