National Partnerships Volunteering One of the great things about Officeworks is how keen we are about getting out and helping our communities. We encourage our teams do this through our national volunteering opportunities as well as finding local opportunities in your community especially those that support education and environment. To make it easier for teams to plan for upcoming events, we have created a calendar for national opportunities as well as links to register. You will be able to find this on the PDP page of Onet. The below events are two examples of how you can volunteer but there are more such as iTrack Mentoring with The Smith Family and we are looking to do our first activities with ALNF this year. The Smith Family – Toy and Book Appeal Restoring Australia At Christmas more than 60 team members rolled up their sleeves to help provide a bit of Christmas cheer to Smith Family students. We had team members volunteering in each state and it is a great way to learn more about The Smith Family and especially how they started. This opportunity happens annually and is always very popular so please make sure you keep an eye out for the communications and register early. Restoring Australia is another great way for team members to get out and get their hands dirty for a day. We’ve even had one team member say this is the greatest thing she has done with Officeworks. Whether this is by planting trees, doing seed collection, helping plant seedlings or learning more about the land we are restoring, each event is a great way for our team to connect with this initiative. We’ve heard you’d like to do more so we have opened up more opportunities to get involved.
