Hurry, don’t miss out! Make a meaningful impact in a community while having fun and making new friends.<\/p>\n
John Curtin Weekend<\/a> (JCW) involves Curtin Volunteers!\u2019 largest community projects, and they are now live for registration!<\/p>\n These projects take place in September and October each year. Volunteers work with locals on community identified projects at regional and metropolitan sites across Western Australia.<\/p>\n Riding on the back of a tractor in Merredin and watching the sunset; taking photos with sheep, goats and cows at Possum Valley; meeting horses in Brigadoon \u2013 these are just some of the activities previous volunteers experienced last year at JCW.<\/p>\n “The best part about being on a JCW is seeing the faces of the Site Contacts at the end of the trip – knowing that we had made a positive, big or small, in the work that they do. In particular, the volunteers’ smiles as they too experience what being a part of JCW is like,\u201d says Jia Ho, who joined the Chittering site last year.<\/p>\n We are excited to kick off our two-night sites which offer a truly unique and immersive experience to our volunteers through a wide range of activities in regional Western Australia. From Gingin to Nungarin, from environmental projects to assisting at community fairs, create some lifelong memories with new friends in these one-of-a-kind activities. We have 12 new sites currently live, as well as many one-night and day trips over a wide range of activities<\/p>\n Register on the Curtin Volunteers! portal<\/a>\u00a0to sign up to these amazing weekend projects!<\/p>\n
