How the Volunteer Bureau works

The completed form is returned to the Volunteer Bureau Development Officer and a meeting is arranged with the Development Officer and the volunteer or group (or representative). Based on this meeting and the information on the registration form, volunteers will be matched with groups where their skills are needed or where the group’s activities match the volunteer’s interests.
