Volunteering
If you are interested in volunteering with the Australian Greens Victoria, sign up online today or check our Volunteer page for current opportunities. Volunteers and active members are the backbone of the Greens in Victoria and right across Australia. In Victoria we only have a few permanent staff so our success is almost entirely achieved through the energy and expertise of hundreds volunteers, just like you.
As our needs fluctuate we can't guarantee an available position that matches your skills and interests but we will be in touch when a volunteer opportunity arises that matches your skills and availability.
Generally, the greatest need for volunteers occurs in the lead up to elections. The next election will be in the second half of 2012 when Victoria goes to the polls to choose our local government representatives. We will be looking for volunteers to help campaign, letter-box drop and hand out "How to vote" cards. If you are interested, sign up online today.
