Volunteer

At the Early Development Partnership Foundation, we believe strong communities are built through connection, compassion and people willing to show up for one another. As a volunteer led organisation, we rely on our community to help local families across the Peninsula Central Coast feel supported, welcome and less alone in their child's first 1,000 days of life.

  • Build meaningful community connections
  • Share your skills, experience or time in a purposeful way
  • Help create inclusive, welcoming spaces for children and caregivers
  • Be part of a growing, community-focused organisation making a local impact

Child Safety & Volunteer Requirements

We are committed to creating safe, inclusive and supportive environments for all children and families. We will guide volunteers through any required steps before commencing. As we work with children and families, volunteers in most instances would require: 

  • A valid working with children check
  • National police check
  • Relevant qualifications and experience 
  • Completion of safeguarding and child safety policies

Register your interest

We would love to hear from you.

Whether you are looking to volunteer individually, as a student or community group, workplace team, we welcome expressions of interest from people who want to make a positive local impact.
