Wimmera Volunteers are a Volunteer Resource Centre and a member of the Victorian Volunteer Resource Centre (VRC) Network.

A Volunteer Resource Centre is a not for profit, independently managed community based organisation which subscribes to a code of ethics, standards of practice and the Australian ‘Principles of Volunteering’.

The core business of a Volunteer Resource Centre is to:

• Resource and support people to make informed choices about volunteer work

• Maintain relevant, up to date information on volunteer services

• Refer, as opposed to recommend, volunteers to a wide range of not for profit organisations and projects across all sectors of the community

• Provide agencies with information on involving and managing volunteers

• Raise the profile of volunteering in organisations, governments and the community by promoting the ‘principles of volunteering’

• Work with other volunteer resource centres across Australia to maintain common standards of practice

• Maintain sufficient resources to provide the required services to volunteers and the community

• To work with other agencies to promote best practice standards for volunteer involvement and management
