Together with caring Australians, The Smith Family will unlock opportunities for disadvantaged families to participate more fully in society.
Volunteers are the backbone of our organisation and without them, much of the work we do would not be possible. Each year, Australian community members and our corporate partners, volunteer their time, skills and energy to help us unlock opportunities for thousands of disadvantaged Australian children and their families. Volunteers support The Smith Family in a variety of ways, for example volunteer mentors support youth who are looking to make the often challenging transition from school to work or further studies; volunteer coaches assist students to improve their literacy skills through our Learning Clubs; and volunteer tutors provide basic English language skills to help refugees and new arrivals settle into their new communities.
