Volunteer Philosophy

CERES belongs to the community in that it is a public resource for environmental sustainability, social equity, cultural richness and community participation.

Volunteers represent the community that CERES serves, and by providing input, contribute to CERES evolution and development.

Volunteers bring an abundance of skills, energy and passion for the values CERES promotes. Volunteers therefore support CERES in striving towards its vision. Volunteering at CERES focuses on working together to fulfil common goals and CERES is committed to providing a unique and enriching experience for volunteers.

Potential Volunteers Under 18 years of Age

CERES will not register legal minors as volunteers unless they are accompanied in their volunteering by a parent or a properly authorised guardian who is over 18 years of age.

If you are interested in setting up this type of 'paired' volunteering at CERES follow the steps to making a request below and forward volunteer questionnaires for BOTH adult and child together.

High School Work Experience Students

The CERES Volunteer Program no longer co-ordinates the placement of work experience students at CERES. Prospective students should direct their request to the area of CERES that interests them most. Most of these can be found elsewhere on this website.
