INDIGENOUS Group SUPPORT volunteering
Supporting Indigenous Communities can lead to greater levels of understanding for the experiences and cultures of Indigenous Australians, and lead to a more united Australia.
Indigenous support volunteering in Australia
It is sad but true that our First Nation peoples are affected by higher levels of homelessness, poverty, addiction and mental illness than any other portion of the Australian population. It is these developmental challenges that Indigenous support volunteering attempts to repair, improving the experiences of Australia's First Nation peoples and changing the future of young Indigenous Australians.
With Vollie, Indigenous support volunteers have the flexibility of deciding the when and the where for online volunteering. Volunteer around your life commitments and from the comfort of your own home if you choose. Scroll through the active volunteering projects open for Indigenous group support volunteers, and select one that stands out to you. Contributing to change in Indigenous communities is now that easy to get on board with. Whether you work directly with Indigenous communities, or behind the scenes working for the great charities and nonprofits Vollie has partnered with; you are contributing to changing the story for our Indigenous Australians.
By working with First Nation Australians, contribute to closing the gap, reducing racism and building a better connection between all those who live within Australia, and our Indigenous communities. Some examples of the work you can do to improve the experience of Indigenous Australians are;
Supporting kids as they complete their school education
Encourage participation in tertiary studies
Promote the advantages of a healthy lifestyle
Teach life skills such as saving, applying for a loan and managing superannuation
Assisting in access to the workplace

Indigenous group support volunteering has the potential to give so much back to volunteers, as it provides an opportunity to better understand the lives of First Nation Australians and offers renewed perspectives of the developmental challenges that they face. Higher levels of understanding and empathy will bridge the gap between First Nations Australians and the broader Australian population.
