Vegan NSW is a community organisation and charity that promotes veganism and supports vegans.

Welcome!

At Vegan NSW we rely on volunteers for almost everything we do, whether it's running our amazing events, advocating for animals, or supporting people to live their best vegan life - it's all about the vegan movement growing and thriving, and our volunteers are essential for this.

Do you love our social media? It’s run by vollies! Are you astounded by those super helpful folk in high-vis on event day? They are vollies too!

We value your time and commitment and hope that you will learn something new, experience our wonderful community and meet other like-minded people during all your volunteer experiences.

We’d love you to join the team and create magic together!

Our events are vegan

All products and services at our events are vegan, but anyone is encouraged to apply to be a volunteer! We just ask that you respect our values while volunteering.

We bring community together

Our team of volunteers are essential to everything that we do, including helping to create a safe and welcoming environment at all of our events and activities.

We are eco responsible

All single use service ware that is provided by our food and beverage stalls must be recyclable, and we encourage reusable service ware.

We appreciate your time and commitment

We understand your time is valuable and as well as contributing to our vision of creating a vegan world, we hope you are rewarded by connecting with our beautiful communities and finding opportunities to learn and grow.

Our volunteers can access:

  • Volunteer Rewards Program on event days that include freebies, deals and discounts

  • A whole stack of like minded people that are helping to change the world

  • Heaps of puppy cuddles!

We strive to be safe and inclusive for all

Vegan NSW is committed to veganism, evidence-based information, social justice, and engaging respectfully with all parts of the community - we want everyone to feel and be safe in our spaces!

We create physically safe spaces via

  • important work health safety procedures and guidelines

  • providing evidence-based information

We create accessible and inclusive spaces by

  • selecting physically accessible spaces

  • providing free activations

  • using inclusive language

  • avoiding language, attitudes and products that exclude others, including racist, colonialist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, ageist, or appearance shaming language.

And we ask you to jump on board and do the same!

We are careful in discussion

We support open discussion of ideas and encourage people to make their own well-informed decisions. However, our primary mission is to be in a position to advocate for veganism, so we are careful about which debates we engage in or prioritise. We ask you to behave in ways that support our vision by ensuring that you discuss any controversial topics in a manner that focusses on respectful dialogue.

We are (mostly) outdoors

Most of our events are held in the great outdoors. Our attendees love sitting on the grass (weather permitting!) and lazing the day away surrounded by vegan heaven! Unless it is unsafe we will go ahead regardless of the weather so please ensure you are prepared and wear weather appropriate gear to your shift. We have sunscreen and hand sanitiser available at the Info Tent.

We value feedback

We are always keen for your input and feedback so that we can continue to get better and reach our goals, so please let us know your thoughts.

And, of course:

  • All volunteers are required to comply with the Vegan NSW Code of Conduct

  • By applying you agree to provide your personal information and to be contacted regarding volunteer opportunities, and if accepted, you will respect and follow the above policies and will let us know if anything changes.

  • Vegan NSW will only collect, use your information and store it in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988.
