Be Part of Our “Imperfect Volunteer” Campaign – National Volunteer Week 2025

National Volunteer Week is coming up (19–25 May), and we’re doing something a little different…

This year, GippSport and Volunteering Gippsland are celebrating the Imperfect Volunteer, the people who give their time, energy, and passion to help others, in all their wonderfully imperfect ways.

We’re inviting volunteers from across Gippsland to submit a short video (around 15 seconds) answering these three questions:

  1. Who do you volunteer for?
  2. Why do you volunteer?
  3. How does volunteering connect your community?

Whether you’re new to volunteering, been doing it for years, or just helping out where you can—we want your voice in the mix.

No need to overthink it—phone videos are perfect! Just keep it real, relaxed, and from the heart. We’ll be sharing these clips across our social media platforms and websites during National Volunteer Week to showcase the diversity and depth of Gippsland’s volunteering community.

How to Submit:

📧 Email to: info@volunteeringgippsland.com.au

📅 Deadline: Sunday, 28 April
