Volunteer with us
How You Can Get Involved
Most people come up with their own program or event idea and then volunteer to run it. If you don’t have a program in mind but want to help out, we have three regular opportunities in our Little BIG funded programs, each designed to suit different skills, interests, and time commitments.
Every role connects you with the Little BIG Tribe, a warm, welcoming, and downright fun group of locals who love bringing people together. It’s a lighter, more flexible way to get involved in the Little BIG House while still making a real difference in your community.
Volunteering is a great way to:
Connect with people
from all walks of life
Give back
to your community
Gain new skills
and experience

Help us create a welcoming, productive space for our coworking community. We offer a quiet (but not silent) space where people can bring their laptop, book or other work and ‘work-from-home’, in the company of others. Your role will involve:
- Opening and closing the venue
- Greeting newcomers, checking them in and sharing and relevant information to make them feel at home.
- Encouraging others to meet – making introductions and helping facilitate small moments of connection.
- Housekeeping – watering the plants, checking on the cleaning supplies and letting us know if anything is amiss.
- Make sure the space is left how you found it and lock up securely.
When
Morning: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Afternoon: 12:55 PM – 5:00 PM
Perfect for:
Remote workers, freelancers or those of us who like some dedicated time to do personal admin but have the flexibility to look up, say hi and welcome people at ad-hoc intervals throughout the day. You won’t be run off your feet at all, so bring project (or your work) with you.
Help us provide a social outlet for the grown-ups in the lives of little people. This volunteer position will see you support local parents and caregivers to have a weekly home away from home where they can gather for connection and conversation. You’ll help by:
- Being first to arrive and opening the venue up for others.
- Be a welcoming point of contact for participants as they arrive, encourage them to sign-in, explain what the LBH is and why this event exists.
- Foster a friendly, inclusive environment for anyone who comes through the door. Make introductions and help others feel at home.
- Keep an eye on our lovely space – check there are no broken toys and the space is family friendly.
- Make sure the space is left how you found it and lock up securely
When
Tuesdays, 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM
Perfect for:
Parents currently on their parental leave, grandparents who are chief child-minder for the day or other carers spending time with kiddos. If you are going to participant anyway, why now be first to arrive and help set up, then just join in?
Hold space for retirees to come and meet one another, bringing joy and connection to our senior community members by:
- Being first to arrive and opening the venue up for others. Preparing the venue for their gathering.
- Welcoming participants and creating a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Make introductions and help people feel at ease, engaging in meaningful conversations where you can.
- On occasion, coordinate (and approve) with speakers who reach out to us and want to make a presentation to the group.
- Make sure the space is left how you found it and lock up securely
When
Fortnightly on Thursdays, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Perfect for:
Retirees living locally who want to connect with others.
