Are you interested in becoming a Council volunteer?
Naracoorte Lucindale Council fosters and facilitates the invaluable contribution volunteers make to our community.
Volunteering is an integral part of our society, its culture and its history.
Volunteering is about getting involved, participating and making a difference in the community you live in. It can also provide you the opportunity to learn new skills and experiences.
Volunteering is time willingly given for the common good without any financial gain, where you can put that spare time to good use, making contacts and building self-confidence and self-worth. It can also be active, social and gaining friends.
Council has a range of volunteer roles in areas such as:
Naracoorte Visitor Information Centre
Naracoorte Library
Friends of the Naracoorte Cemetery
