NSW Department of Education schools develop Student Volunteering and Service Learning activities to allow students to explore local issues of concern and make a difference. By participating in community volunteering activities, young people have an opportunity to learn and demonstrate care, respect and responsibility. Volunteering enables students to participate and interact in their community in a positive and meaningful way. The experience develops skills and confidence in communication and team work. Students will be encouraged to talk about their participation in volunteering activities, and to reflect on the impact of their contribution.
