From community festivals and local markets to large-scale city events, Volunteers Geelong connects people who want to help with the events that shape our region.

Whether you’ve got a few hours or a full day to give, volunteering at events is a great way to meet people, gain experience, and contribute to something meaningful in your community.

We work with a range of event organisers across Geelong and surrounding areas who rely on volunteers to help everything run smoothly — from guest support and wayfinding to setup, bump-in assistance, and behind-the-scenes coordination.

No experience is needed — just a positive attitude and a willingness to get involved.
