Ararat Rural City Council is inviting community-minded residents to join its growing volunteer program, which supports a wide range of local services and events that help make the region a great place to live, work, and visit.
Local residents can apply for a range of volunteer roles through Engage Ararat. These applications will connect local people with flexible volunteer opportunities across Council's services, community activities, and cultural programs.
Volunteers may support events, visitor services, library services, or community engagement projects, with roles suited to different interests and life stages. The following services are currently calling to volunteers:
- Ararat Gallery TAMA and Ararat and Grampians Visitor Information Centre
- Ararat Library
- Ararat Town Hall
Chief Executive Officer Dr Tim Harrison said volunteering is an essential part of what makes the Ararat community strong. "Volunteers bring extraordinary generosity, skills, and a sense of community spirit that can't be measured," Dr Harrison said. "This program is about giving people the chance to get involved in ways that are meaningful to them while helping to make our municipality an even better place for everyone."
Dr Harrison encouraged anyone considering volunteering to learn more and register.
"Whether you've recently moved to the area or have lived here your whole life, there's a place for you to participate and connect," he said. "It's a great way to meet people, contribute to local life, and share what makes Ararat special."
