As part of National Volunteer Week, the charity DoSomething! are promoting their Photo Contest to influence Australians to explore, engage, and empower change through volunteering in their local communities.

 

Submit a photo that illustrates community volunteering. By sharing your passion with the nation, you have the ability to inspire others. Together, we can use the power of an image to build a better place.

 

There's over $2000 worth of prizes for grabs!

 

In an effort to generate more members for Australia's service clubs, the DoSomething! charity have launched a national campaign called 'Join The Club'. Throughout May, the campaign will be encouraging Australians to join a local service club.
Finding a local club is now far easier. Thanks to sponsorship from ALDI, DoSomething! have created the JoinTheClub.org.au website. It contains the contact details for the 5,000 service clubs around Australia
