A community where everyone can participate and belong
Volunteer Management Activity-Eastern Melbourne Metropolitan Region
EV Volunteering is the Project lead for the VMA. We assist organisations to be more inclusive of volunteers from the VMA priority target groups in Eastern Metro Melbourne.
Organisations can access some of the online resources of the EV Volunteer Resource Service free as part of VMA. Please ask us about them below.
The Volunteer Management Activity is designed to increase opportunities for people to participate in the social and economic life of their broader community through volunteering.
