At Variety – the Children’s Charity of Queensland, volunteers are the backbone of our organisation.
We couldn’t do what we do without you!
From helping at events to supporting families and fundraising activities, your time, energy and kindness help create brighter futures for kids who need it most.
Why volunteer for Variety?
As a volunteer, you’ll see the impact of your efforts up close – whether you’re cheering at a Variety kids’ event or lending a hand behind the scenes, you’ll become part of a caring community of supporters who share your passion for helping kids reach their full potential.
Volunteering is also a great way to use your skills for good. From event logistics and administration to photography and fundraising, there’s a place for everyone at Variety. Along the way, you’ll make new friends, have fun and create lifelong memories – all while knowing you’re making a real difference in the lives of children and families across Australia.

People who volunteer regularly report feeling happier, more connected, and more confident in everyday life.*
