What is a Volunteer Resource Centre?
The Peel Volunteer Resource Centre maintains an up-to-date register of volunteer positions. This make it much easier for individuals to find out what volunteer jobs are available in the Peel Region and with which organisations.
We invite you to come into our office for an informal interview, we can then refer you to the Volunteer Position of your choice.
Appointments are available Monday - Friday for an interview. Telephone interviews are available for people living outside Mandurah.
