Acknowledging Student Volunteers

Monday 7 August - Sunday 13 August 2023.

National Student Volunteer Week celebrates student volunteers, and promotes volunteering to students and young people across Western Australia

National Student Volunteer Week gives students the opportunity to lead others in connecting to their community by offering support and kindness. Students are provided with the chance to explore the personal and professional benefits of volunteering, which include valuable work experience, enhanced feelings of self-worth, refinement of values, increased understanding of people, local and global issues, and reduced social isolation. NSVW also recognises the significant skills, ideas, enthusiasm, creativity, and time that young people contribute through volunteering.

#NSVW2023
Resources and activities will be announced soon.
