Studies show that people who volunteer are happier and live longer! In addition, their gift of time and energy creates a positive outcome for their community and contributes to a vibrant and caring neighbourhood. It’s not surprising to us. At ARV, volunteers visibly play an important role in enhancing the quality of our resident’s lives. ARV has a diverse range of Volunteers; individuals from the local area, ARV residents, school groups, family members, corporate groups and other local organisations.

Volunteers can assist with one-to-one visits, go on group outings to interesting places, help out with music, craft groups, indoor bowls, driving buses, helping in the garden and many more activities. You can help low vision groups with reading and writing letters, assisting with leisure activities, or you can help with other things including the computer club, listening library or kiosk. The opportunities are endless! ARV also welcomes Corporate Volunteering and can work with your organisation to design employee volunteering projects and activities to suit small or large groups. Training is provided for all volunteers and you will be supported in your role by the Volunteer Coordinators. If you would like to become a part of our Volunteering Team please give ARV Volunteering a call on 9421 5446

Small businesses are the character of our communities. The bakery that makes your favorite cupcakes, the store that sells those one-of-a-kind-shirts and hats you love, your barbershop, comic book shop, coffee shop — anywhere you shop. That list goes on and on. Small businesses make your neighborhood, town, or city unique, but they’re also on the decline across America.

Small businesses with a mentor succeed at twice the national average. In fact, small businesses that work with a mentor through our award–winning BusinessAdvising.org platform grow their revenues by 20% on average, and create jobs for working people at ten times the national rate. As an advisor, you’ll have the opportunity to:

* Use your unique skills and hard-earned business knowledge to help small business owners create new jobs in lower-income communities
* Serve as a mentor by working with a small business owner to discuss their challenges and give specialized advice and guidance to grow their business
* If you can, open your network to small business owners to empower them to strengthen local economies across America
* Help a small business create new jobs for working people in their local communities.

You might be thinking, ‘Who has time to volunteer?’ But the truth is, it only takes less than 5 hours a month to make a big difference in someone else’s life. Don’t worry if you’ve never worked for or run your own small business. We’ll match you with the right small business based on what you can contribute.
