Sport and volunteering are interlinked. Almost 3 million Australians volunteer in sport annually and play a crucial role in delivering sport in communities across the country. Sport provides volunteering opportunities for everyone and presents a range of roles and tasks that are suited to an individual’s needs and interests. Volunteering in sport creates value to society and volunteers can also gain positive physical, mental and social benefits.

The Sport Volunteers Project is a joint initiative from VicSport, Regional Sport Victoria and Volunteering Victoria to provide community sporting clubs with resources for their volunteer programs. These resources provide strategies targeted at attracting, engaging and retaining volunteers with information that is readily available and easy to apply.
