Volunteer
We occasionally seek the support of dedicated volunteers in our head and state offices throughout the year. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the enquiry form below. Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to volunteer with us.
The Big Issue Challenge
The Big Issue Challenge is a corporate team-building activity that makes a real difference. Learn about homelessness and disadvantage from a guest speaker with first-hand insight, and then in teams hit the streets to sell The Big Issue magazine with a vendor.
Along with having a direct, immediate impact on the lives of street vendors, you will come away from the Challenge with greater empathy, resilience, creativity and other real-world skills that can’t be learnt at a desk.
The Big Issue Challenge half-day experience runs in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra. To find out more about The Big Issue Challenge fill out the enquiry form below.
