We champion volunteering and we are continuously building our capability to support Central Coast community sector organisations to grow their service capacity.

From our establishment in 1986, Volunteering Central Coast has become recognised as a leader in the recruitment and referral of volunteers, and in delivering support and training to volunteer involving organisations.

Originally funded through various government departments to link people who wanted to volunteer with organisations that suited their interests and skills, VCC has matured from being a referral agency to become a skills matching service that offers a valued service to individuals and community organisations.

Today, Volunteering Central Coast is an integral and valued part of the Central Coast community referring over 1,200 volunteers to more than 110 community organisations each year. 

 

In early 2019, the Volunteering Central Coast Board advanced the strategic plan, refining the key objectives which sit under the four pillars of Clients, Quality, Profile and Sustainability:

grow our capacity to encourage and support best practice in volunteer management by delivering targeted and effective services to members and prospective volunteers.

improve our service quality by providing a centre of excellence in volunteer support services, referral and resourcing, education and training.

enhance our recognition, understanding and value in the community to attract and refer volunteers from all walks of life.

reflect the needs of the sector, form collaborative partnerships, seek innovative strategies to support ongoing service development and financial sustainability.
