Join a Volunteer Board

Join a Volunteer Board
Use your skills and experience to support a cause you care about. Board roles are one of the most impactful ways to contribute to organisations, helping shape strategy, strengthen governance, and support long-term success.

Create Your Profile

Whether you’re considering your first board role or already have experience, organisations are often open to a wide range of skills and perspectives, and most roles are designed to fit alongside other commitments.

Why Join a Board
You might be considering joining a board for different reasons:
  • To make a meaningful contribution and help shape an organisation’s direction
  • To use your professional or lived experience in a different and rewarding way
  • To support organisations delivering important work in their communities
  • To build confidence, develop new skills, and expand your network
What You Can Offer
Boards benefit from a mix of skills, experience, and perspectives. This might include:
  • Professional experience such as finance, HR, legal, digital or marketing, along with skills developed in other roles
  • Leadership or team experience from any sector
  • Lived experience or a personal connection to a particular cause
The most important thing is a willingness to contribute, ask questions, and engage.
 
How It Works
  1. Create a profile outlining your experience and interests
  2. Organisations will reach out directly when they see a potential fit
  3. Have a conversation and, if it feels right, join a board and start contributing
If you’re thinking about joining a board, creating a profile is a great place to start.

It’s a simple step that can open up opportunities to contribute, learn, and get involved in work that matters.
