You do not have to be a current volunteer to attend this event. While it is a celebration of volunteer contribution around the South West, there will be opportunities to sign up to new volunteer roles and hear from others who volunteer.

The event will bring together youth and young adult volunteers from across the South West region to celebrate their contribution to the community in a relaxed and inclusive environment near Koombana Bay. It has been co-designed by young adult volunteers from headspace Bunbury and the Blue Leaf Initiative, in collaboration with Volunteer South West, City of Bunbury, and Freedom.
