Connect with other volunteering professionals

Leading volunteers can be rewarding, complex work. Having a strong network of peers gives you a place to share ideas, learn from others and talk through the challenges that come with supporting volunteers.

Volunteer Leadership Networks bring together leaders of volunteers from across Victoria to connect with peers, exchange knowledge and strengthen their practice.

Whether you work in a dedicated volunteer management role or leading volunteers is one part of your job, these networks offer a welcoming space to build relationships with others working in volunteering.

Why join a network?

Being part of a network gives you opportunities to:

  • Connect with your peers and build relationships with other leaders of volunteers in your area or sector.
  • Share experiences and ideas, including what’s working, what you’re grappling with and approaches you might want to try.
  • Learn from others through practical conversations about volunteer leadership and management.
  • Stay connected to the wider volunteering sector, including emerging issues and opportunities that may affect your work.

Please note: The Volunteer Leadership Networks listed below operate independently of Volunteering Victoria. For information about joining, upcoming meetings or how a network operates, please contact the organiser directly.
