Coordinated and delivered nationally by Volunteering Queensland since 2013 and supported by Volunteering Australia and all State and Territory Peak volunteering bodies, National Student Volunteer Week acknowledges and celebrates student volunteers, and promotes volunteering to students and young people across Australia.

2025 theme

The theme for National Student Volunteer Week 2025 is ‘Powered by Purpose’.

This year’s theme will champion the passion and drive behind student-led change. It’s about the fuel, values, beliefs, and passion that inspire students and young people to contribute to causes they care about.

Whether they’re mentoring classmates, running peer support groups, helping out at community events, or tackling big social issues – students are showing up and shaping a brighter future.

Get involved, spread the word, and use the hashtags #NSVW2025 and #PoweredByPurpose to share your stories of impact.
