Volunteering FAQs
What is a volunteer?
A volunteer is someone who freely gives of their time and skills to a not-for-profit organisation in order to help it further its goals. Volunteers are not paid for their contribution to the organisation but are highly regarded for the assistance they give.
Who can volunteer?
Our volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and have a common interest in project management. They include students, retirees, full-time and part-time workers. Everyone has something to offer.
Do I have to be a PMI member to volunteer?
Yes.
Do I need a Working with Children or a Police Check?
No. There is no requirement for Working with Children or a Police Check.
What kind of time commitment do I need to make as a volunteer?
Volunteering opportunities range from short term commitments of a few hours to long term committee lead roles. PMI Melbourne Chapter has many different opportunities available, and the hours and skills required for each opportunity vary. We have volunteer opportunities to fit everyone’s busy schedule.
Am I limited to one volunteer role at a time?
While we recommend new volunteers to start with one role, we encourage established volunteers to expand or contract their voluntary commitments to suit their interests and lifestyle. Volunteers are welcome to change or add to their role at any time, subject to availability.
What happens if I am sick or want to go on holiday or don’t feel like coming in?
It is expected that volunteers will have other things going on in their lives alongside their voluntary commitments. Our program is flexible enough to accommodate those needs. We also ask that volunteers keep in touch regarding their ‘fit’ with the Program. Volunteers are always free to change their minds.
