A NEW TAKE ON VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering is a concept many of us are familiar with – but at Working Solutions our volunteers have a unique opportunity to use the experience to build work skills, try new workplace roles and consider new job pathways.
In collaboration with our flexible work partners we source work-related opportunities that let you try new skills, build confidence and decide whether ongoing paid work in that area is a realistic and interesting option for you. If you have a mutual obligation requirement you’re welcome to start meeting that commitment with us. Our volunteering positions are largely managed through our virtual workplace platforms so as a single parent for example, you can plan your volunteering around your home responsibilities.
If you are interested in volunteer opportunities contact us and let us know a little more about your interests and current skills.
All our volunteer opportunities include training and ongoing mentoring according to your current skill set. Our volunteer opportunities support our advocacy role for single parents, fund our social enterprise projects, help develop sustainable funding channels for other NFP, and support the development of community resources.
We work in collaboration with employers and industry partners to develop work opportunities, provide pre-training, or launch your own business ideas.
We have number of projects in motion. If you are solo-parenting, or a senior supporting grandchildren in the home, or unable to access mainstream employment opportunities, there are options might suit your interests or career journey now. We are NOT a government agency, nor are we a Job Active provider. So don’t be shy about finding out more. We’re happy to hear from you by email to get started.

The FundRise Project
Working in collaboration with Find It Locally P/L we’re developing 8800 digital community noticeboards to create sustainable fundraising opportunities for community organisations, and build business to NFP relationships for stronger sustainable communities with greater opportunities for everyone.
Wellness and Wellbeing
This project is sponsored by business partnerships. We’re contacted to develop and managing a business platform called “Essential Oil Shop” to retail aromatherapy products for home use and offer a practitioner wholesale channel. This project offers our volunteers a great opportunity to develop current skills.
Community Access
A project supporting adults who are in need of a companion or support person for safe community access, or assistance with travel to attend appointments or other community services. Our clients are generally older and fall outside support services for youth, mental health or high-needs agency assistance..
