Volunteers

Become a volunteer and make a difference. Mosman could not function without its many volunteers. Successful volunteers provide many benefits: the service and care given to the community, the friendship and self confidence it brings out in people, the creativity of so many diverse volunteer activities and above all the enjoyment of achieving something worthwhile.

Mosman Council congratulates all those volunteers, of all ages and walks of life, who contribute their precious time and energy to making the quality of life for the Mosman community so special. Some volunteers work full time, some part time, others are retired or students. Many volunteers have been involved for years, and others, such as those who are here on overseas postings, for short periods of time.
