VOLUNTEERING roles at Frankston’s libraries, Arts Centre, community centres, and nature reserves can be found at Frankston Council’s new online volunteer portal.
The website was launched this year, and features roles across many different areas.
Retired nurse Jan Dennett has been volunteering with the L2P learner driver program since 2021. She said “after retiring and moving into a retirement village, I wanted to do something to help in the community.”
“Joining the L2P Program is a wonderful way to help learners obtain the hours they need to get their licence. The training and support from L2P staff is incredible and they match you well with a learner,” Dennett said. “If you have the time or inclination you will find it rewarding when you see your learner’s face when they pass their driving test.”
Nominations have also now opened to find Frankston’s best volunteer. An Impact Volunteering-registered organisation award on offer has a $1000 prize. Nominations will close on 26 June.
