Volunteer Opportunities

We require support to help us support our community who are facing varied and complex issues. They span homelessness, domestic violence, social isolation, probation and parole, emergency food relief and health. We’re hoping to find people who can commit to at least one day per week.

Volunteer Hairdressers

Baptist Care SA is looking for hairdressers to give people who are experiencing homelessness, or who are at risk of homelessness, kindness along with a haircut. Through the act of giving a haircut, Volunteer Hairdressers create connections with vulnerable and marginalised community members that helps them to build greater self-esteem and wellbeing. If you are a qualified hairdresser who is compassionate, committed and kind we’d love to hear from you. 

Provide leadership and support to the Community Connections music program, Chords and Connections by attending the fortnightly program, chatting with and encouraging participants in the program, and modelling positive participation.
