Volunteer Voices (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging)

Developed in Partnership with Settlement Services International and The Centre for Volunteering, Volunteer Voices brings together the expertise of people with lived experience and research to help you, the learner, consider how you can continue to build inclusion in your volunteer programs and promote inclusive practices.

Volunteer Voices is a unique and dynamic e-learning experience that will guide you through principles of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging through twelve lived experience stories of volunteering in Australia.
