Membership benefits for all members
Having only been in this role since April 2024, VolunteeringACT has been an amazing support. Having a dedicated place to seek advice and guidance has been crucial for me. The training sessions have not only sharpened my skills but also introduced me to a network of fellow volunteer managers, fostering collaboration and idea-sharing. Moreover, I’ve found the resources on VolunteeringACT’s website and Knowledge Base incredibly helpful – they’ve provided me with practical tools and insights to navigate my responsibilities effectively.
