VOLUNTEER
Become a volunteer
B4VK is an organisation run almost entirely by volunteers who generously donate their time. Volunteering for B4VK is a fulfilling and impactful way to make a positive difference in your community. By donating your time, skills, and resources, you can help provide support, care, and resources to children who have experienced trauma and loss.
There are many opportunities to get involved and make a meaningful contribution. If you, or your organisation is willing to help out in any capacity, please contact us. Together we can make a difference.
On an ad hoc basis, B4VK also makes call-outs on their Facebook page for as-needed volunteers. This may involve transporting goods around the state, emergency pick and pack sessions and much more.

Suggestions for volunteering
Pick & Pack Workplace Group
Get a group of colleagues, friends, or teammates together for a pick and pack day at Backpacks 4 Vic Kids. It's a fun day out and makes a great team-building exercise for a worthwhile cause. Our B4VK HQ team will be there to provide full briefing instructions. Feel free to bring a small item from our goods page to add to one of the backpacks.

Drop Off Point
Can you or your business act as a drop-off point for B4VK? Locations that we have already covered can be viewed on our donate page. Volunteering as a Drop Off Point would involve accepting drop-offs of goods for our backpacks at your location at a time that suits you (donors have to contact you to organise a convenient time). Additionally, you would need to transport these goods to our HQ in Cranbourne. If you are interested in acting as a drop-off point, please fill out our volunteering form.
