Becoming a Volunteer.

Becoming a WCF Volunteer

We are always looking for those special people who are willing to give their time to children and young people.

What are some of the programs Volunteers can be involved in?

SWAG (Strength, Well-being, and Growth) Camps
Shine Camps
Kids Club
Homework Club
Learner Driver Supervision
Mentoring
Events
and more!

If you feel you have something to offer to our children and young people that could benefit them we encourage you to fill out an enquiry form or give us a call. Sometimes our volunteers support the above programs and other times they offer something new and different to the children and young people e.g. tutoring.

SWAG Camps

WCF facilitates SWAG camps that run every term for our kids. SWAG stands for Spiritual, Well-being, and Growth. Over half of our kids engage in Kids Club and SWAG Camps and the numbers continue to rise as word gets out.

WCF's SWAG Camps and Kids Clubs focus on promoting Christian values, building self-esteem and self-worth, supporting healthy and positive relationships and having fun!

As you can imagine, these camps need a lot of support to run smoothly and effectively. We are interested in volunteers in areas such as:

Transport
Supervision
Set up/pack up
Group activities

Kids Club

If you are fun, energetic and enthusiastic and love working with kids, then our Kids Club could be a great volunteer opportunity for you! WCF Kids Clubs are part of our therapeutic approach to supporting the spiritual growth and wellbeing of our children and young people.

Kids Club also provides children with the opportunity to develop social skills and strong and healthy relationships with their peers and staff. We would love our volunteers to bring their skills to Kids Club in areas such as:

Supervision/group support
Facilitating games and group activities
Teaching kids a new skill/activity
Scripture teaching
Clean up
Transport

Learner Driver Supervision

We are interested in recruiting volunteers who have near-perfect driving records to help assist our young people to achieve their Learner Driver license and required hours.

Mentoring

If mentoring is your passion, support our children and young people through mentoring sessions. When children have a mentor, it can sometimes open up their world to many possibilities, learn new skills and engage in opportunities.

Events

WCF is involved in many events in the Shoalhaven and Illawarra. Our volunteers are able to participate in events and help out with managing the stall for the day. All our events are fun-filled events with the opportunity to engage with our local community.
