08-07-2010 - Now taking applications from Volunteers and Services: 

Griffith Volunteer Recruitment Service - Tuesday and Friday 10 am - 2 pm
80 Benerembah Street
Ph: 02-6962 9160 or 0448 309 913 (Gordon)
 

We all know how important Volunteers are for the well-being of our community.  Volunteers don't always know where to volunteer, or want a change of volunteer positions and organisations often don't have the time to look for volunteers. The service aims to streamline this process, by working as a recruitment service.

This service is for Not-for-Profit organisations only and will match volunteers with services.  We have trained coordinators available and are now taking applications from Volunteers and Services. For more information, call the Griffith Neighbourhood House on: 02- 6962 4144.
