We are Volunteer Powered! Volunteers have been the driving force of our organisation since it began in 2015 and continue to be the foundation on which our organisation grows.

What Is the Process of Becoming a Treasure Boxes Volunteer Step 1: Complete an online application form (using the “Fill In an Application” button - top right-hand side of this page) Step 2: Your application will be assessed by the Treasure Boxes Team
Step 3: Training - you will then be asked to complete a suite of online training modules
