National Youth Volunteer Week - Coming Soon!
From 10–16 August, organisations, schools, community groups and volunteers across Australia will come together to celebrate the impact of young people who strengthen communities through volunteering.
The campaign spotlights and celebrates youth-led volunteering efforts, highlighting the personal and collective impact of service, and connecting young people with opportunities to lead, grow, and give back.
The theme for 2026 National Youth Volunteer Week is ' Your Year to Lead'.
This year’s theme celebrates the leadership, connections and sense of belonging that volunteering creates.
There are a few ways for clubs to get involved in National Youth Volunteer Week, including:
* Volunteer recognition
* Hosting an event
* Promoting volunteer roles with young people in mind
* Including young people in decision making
We encourage clubs to join us in celebrating National Youth Volunteer Week in August. If you know an amazing young volunteer, please send us their story at office@ponyclubvic.org.au
