Life Stream Australia - Volunteer Leisure Guide

Life Stream Australia’s Leisure and Holiday Program provides opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities to participate in community-based recreational activities in a safe and supported environment. Their range of programs is not only fun but also designed to develop skills, enhance self-esteem, build confidence, and provide opportunities to make new friendships.  

As a Life Stream Volunteer, you will make a real difference to the lives of people with an intellectual disability by enabling our members to live engaged, active and healthy lifestyles. As a volunteer, you will assist our members to access a wide range of opportunities and experiences, from Group Leisure & Holidays to our School Sports & Community programs. The volunteer's role is to encourage and support Life Stream participants in our programs whilst providing a safe, fun and rewarding environment for all involved.
 
The range of programs and activities Life Stream Australia offers to participants is diverse and constantly evolving.  As a Life Stream Volunteer, you have various options, including the flexibility and freedom to choose specific volunteer roles and programs. Volunteering is based on your circumstances, availability, preferences and program requirements.
