About Us
The Esperance Volunteer Resource Centre (EVRC) was officially opened on May 4, 1999. EVRC is a joint effort organised by the Department of Communities and the Department of Social Services. EVRC is supported by the Shire of Esperance, Volunteering Australia and Volunteering Western Australia.
Through consultation with our community members, it was decided that we would be a 'one-stop shop'; as such, we offer services within the local and surrounding districts which include:
- A list of local volunteer positions for individuals
- A referral service for volunteer involving agencies
- Keeping track of volunteer positions
- Providing regular training sessions
- Assisting and providing guidelines to agencies
- Acting as the central point for volunteer recruitment drives and major recognition celebrations such as National Volunteer Week (May) and Thank a Volunteer Day (5 December).
We aim to provide a high quality, responsive service that provides positive experiences for volunteers and agencies in search of volunteer support.
