    Hi, I am interested in learning more about the volunteer roles you may have available? Please could you also advise what
    is covered in the training for volunteers? I am studying counselling and am interested in helping Children, having already volunteered for Young Carers.
    Kind Regards

    Dear Allison,

    I’m a Macquarie University student, and I really want to be a volunteer with lifestart, as I have a sister with Down’s Syndrome and I have worked with my mom on her early intervention project. I have also volunteered with Kiwanis in Malaysia when I was still residing there.

    Unfortunately, I will only be back in Sydney on the 4th of March. Will there be another training program coming up? Is it possible to volunteer without going through the training program? I promise I’ll learn from the other volunteers.

    Looking forward to your reply and have a nice day!

    Regards,
    Quanyie
