Volunteer with us

Would you like to be a City Mission volunteer?

City Mission has been there providing care and assistance to those who are most vulnerable in our community for almost 170 years.

City Mission Volunteers are integral to our operations, without them we would not be able to continue the work we do in the community. With the assistance of dedicated volunteers we continue to provide a helping hand to thousands experiencing hardship, providing a way forward and a brighter future, transforming lives in Jesus’ name, in local communities across North and North West Tasmania. 

City Mission Volunteers come together from diverse backgrounds. Everyone can play an important role in helping transform the lives of people in experiencing hardship. Whether you are a retired senior manager, hairdresser, teacher, cleaner, retail or hospitality worker, busy mum, young professional, are looking for experience or you’re someone with extraordinary BBQ skills, there is a place for you as a City Mission Volunteer.

We understand life's busy, that's why we offer volunteer opportunities that fit with your lifestyle. You can volunteer on a regular basis weekly or monthly or you can choose to join us for special events and activities throughout the year.
