Volunteer: an enriching, rewarding and fun way to make a real difference
Volunteer With Us
If you are selected to join our volunteer program, you will be joining a long history of people who have been the cornerstone of much of our work since volunteers started the Campaign Against Moral Persecution in 1970, took the first calls at ‘Phone a Friend’ in 1973 or set up the ‘2010’ youth refuge in 1983.
Whether you come to us with specific expertise or are just wanting to lend a hand, we greatly appreciate our volunteers’ contributions and could not serve the community without them.
Note: Given the ongoing COVID-related uncertainty about when we can safely meet in person, we will not run a volunteer intake any time in 2021 and have closed our volunteering interest list for now.
At this stage, we hope to run the next volunteer intake some time in the first half of 2022. Those already on our volunteering interest list will receive an email once we’ve set the next intake date.
We will update here and via Twenty10 newsletters and social media when more places become available in the new year, for those not yet on our interest list.
Until then, you can also make a donation to help us continue our work.
For me, Volunteering on the phones is a profoundly community affirming experience. Working with fellow volunteers and listening to callers makes me feel a sense of solidarity and support amongst my queer peers.
We offer a range of different volunteer roles to choose from:
Project, Admin and Event Roles
Many hands make light work and some people prefer to help out behind the scenes (non client facing). Learn more.
Face to Face Roles
Many of our volunteers work alongside our clients, who are often looking to connect with others socially for support. Learn more.
Phone & Web Support Roles
Our QLife volunteers provide telephone and web support to LGBTI people to provide information and one-off support. Learn more.
