Volunteer
As a PRONIA volunteer, you will be part of an organisation supporting vulnerable members of the Greek community and contributing to building a stronger community, whilst you develop your skills and knowledge.
You will be supported, mentored, and provided with training and social opportunities throughout your journey as a volunteer with PRONIA.
Just 1 hour a week of your time gives the gift of enjoyment, friendship, and satisfaction to an older person in need. The personal fulfillment and rewards volunteers gain as a result of their contributions are invaluable.
PRONIA is an Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS), funded by the Australian Government. The ACVVS involves volunteers visiting older people to provide friendship and companionship.
Why to Volunteer with PRONIA
