Successfully Engaging Volunteers with a Disability

Inclusive Volunteering: Small changes. Big opportunities

Are you unintentionally missing out on great volunteers?

Creating inclusive volunteering opportunities doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes, small changes can make the biggest difference.

Join Volunteering Queensland and representatives from Queenslanders with Disability Network for an engaging, practical professional development session exploring the new resource, Successfully Engaging Volunteers with Disability.

Co-designed with people with lived experience of disability, the resource offers practical guidance and tools to help organisations remove barriers and create more inclusive volunteering opportunities.

In this session, you'll discover how to:

• Identify and remove common barriers to volunteering.

• Make recruitment, onboarding and volunteer roles more accessible.

• Build confidence in communicating with and supporting volunteers with disability.

• Make simple, practical adjustments that benefit everyone.

• Use the resource's self-assessment tools to identify opportunities for improvement.

• You don't need to be a disability expert to make a difference.

• Come away with practical ideas, useful tools and achievable actions to make volunteering more inclusive, accessible and rewarding for everyone.

• We look forward to welcoming you and exploring how small changes can create big opportunities for everyone.
