Volunteers at the heart of our work 

PSEC is supported by a group of loyal and enthusiastic volunteers, some of which have been with us for more than 25 years. Each year, our volunteers contribute nearly 65,000 hours to PSEC, the value of which is equivalent to just under $1 million.

 

Be a part of PSEC’s vital work

If you’re new to the area, feeling lonely or simply want to widen your social circle, volunteering is a fun way to meet new people from all backgrounds while making a genuine difference.

If you’re a student or between jobs, volunteering adds great skills to your CV.  No matter what motivates you to join the team, we’ll look forward to welcoming you to our next volunteer’s event!
