Volunteering made easier with simple online support tool

LIFE is about to get a little easier for the local volunteers who keep our footy clubs, kindies and community organisations running, with Volunteering Queensland launching its new online tool: My Governance Journey.

The “Australia-first” online governance tool will officially launch in February, coinciding with the organisation’s 40th anniversary.

The tool will serve as a plain English guide to what you need to know when joining a Committee or Board and the tool points people to the best resources depending on their journey as a Governance member.

My Governance Journey is an easy-to-understand guide to get started from the view of the individual, rather than from the organisation, following a circular lifecycle diagram keeping you up to date.

Built together with local volunteers who serve on committees, it is designed specifically for the needs of local people who might not have much experience in such a role.

“One of the things people told us is that there is already a lot of information out there – too much in fact – so what they were looking for was one place to make sense of it all,” said Volunteering Queensland CEO Mara Basanovic.

The My Governance Journey tool can be found on Volunteering Queensland’s website from February 6, 2023.
