Need to make own way to Bushy Beach each evening.

We have volunteers on the track for two shifts every evening from September - April.
4pm-6pm or 6pm-8pm. Volunteers need to commit to at least one shift per week (2hours).

Volunteer South's office is closed from Friday 20th December until Monday January 6th. Many organisations listing roles online will also be taking a break. During this time your requests to connect will go through, however there may be some delay in you hearing from the organisations you select. Please be patient and if you have not heard back from them by mid January email them directly and give them a nudge. Thank you and have a wonderful holiday season and summer.
