The Centre for Volunteering, along with the Department of Communities and Justice, is excited to be producing the first State of Volunteering Report for NSW.
Your responses will directly shape the future of volunteering in NSW.
We want to hear from all young people (12-24), even if you don’t or can’t volunteer; your answers are important. Your answers will help us to understand what motivates you to volunteer, and what the barriers are that stop you from volunteering.
As a young community member you may be volunteering, without even knowing. Tell us about how and why you help others.
Be part of this exciting opportunity and complete the survey by 5 March 2021. Share the link to the survey with your friends and peers!

A study commissioned by the NSW Office of Responsible Gambling has found almost 30 per cent of young people surveyed had gambled in the past year.
The NSW Youth Gambling Study 2020 investigated the gambling attitudes and behaviours of young people aged 12-17 through focus groups and an online survey of over 2,200 people. Director of the Office of Responsible Gambling, Natalie Wright, said in the past year 29.8 per cent of participants had gambled, with informal private betting the most common, followed by scratchies and lotteries.
The research showed relatively few young people gambled alone with gambling usually happening with a parent or another adult relative, Ms Wright said.

The Kids News Bushfire Poetry Competition that is currently open to all primary and secondary children across Australia. The poetry competition was launched in partnership with the National Bushfire Recovery Agency and publishing house HarperCollins.
Primary and secondary students can enter the national competition. Sharing stories of resilience and recovery can help others to discover what is possible, and reassure people they’re not alone in what they went through. We want young people in communities and around the country to share their experiences of the 2019-20 bushfires, then and now.
The competition closes at 5pm AEDT 20 February 2021. There will be one primary school winner and one high school winner, with winners to be announced in April 2021.
All school children from across Australia can participate and share their creative ideas, the winning entries will be chosen from bushfire impacted communities, with entries from outside these areas to be reflected in promotional activities.
The winning poems will be included in a special book to commemorate the 2019-20 bushfires. The book is a project led by the National Bushfire Recovery Agency in partnership with HarperCollins Publishers and News Corp.
The book will tell the stories and experiences of communities like yours. It will focus on the people, communities and landscapes affected, and will acknowledge the heroism of people during the fires and their resilience during the recovery period. The book will be an uplifting and inspiring dedication to the people who survived and sadly those who didn’t, and be a testament to the resilient Australian spirit with communities coming together to support and help each other.
The winners of the poetry competition will also receive paid travel and accommodation to the book’s launch in Canberra in mid-2021, copies of the book and the opportunity to be featured in newspapers and on the Kids News website.
