Volunteers play a vital role in making Coffs Harbour a great place to live — contributing to a connected, sustainable and thriving community. Volunteering brings lasting value to our region through social, cultural, environmental and economic benefits.
Encouraging more people to volunteer and ensuring volunteering is valued and respected is a key goal of the MyCoffs 2035 Community Strategic Plan, helping foster a strong sense of community, belonging and diversity.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering is a great way to:
