National Volunteer Week 2023 Toolkit

Celebrate and thank your volunteers

National Volunteer Week (NVW) is Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteers. From Monday 15 to Sunday 21 May 2023, we will celebrate, thank and recognise the significant contribution of the 3 million sport volunteers by saying 3 Cheers for Volunteers.
The ASC will be showcasing the incredible people who volunteer in sport and the vital roles they play in delivering sport programs across Australia.

The theme for National Volunteer Week 2023 is The Change Makers, representing a celebration of our power to drive change and ensure volunteering is inclusive of all members of the Australian community.

Volunteering is essential to the delivery of sport across Australia. To assist you we have put together a toolkit of resources to enable you to promote our message within your community.

This toolkit contains easy to use templates and additional resources such as key messages, social media content, email campaign content, and a handy guide to support you engaging with the campaign.
