Volunteer With Us
CS#1 recognises that volunteers are the life blood of a community and appreciate the vital role they play in delivering quality community services to the people who really need them.
We recognise and value the huge contribution our volunteers make to the success of our programs and community events.
We are looking for enthusiastic, skilled, community-minded volunteers to join our team and help us deliver the best information and services across the Canberra community.
Our Volunteer Rights and Responsibilities document offers more information on what you can expect when volunteering with us and also what will be expected of you.
