Volunteer
People volunteer for an endless variety of reasons. Many people want to gain experience, acquire new skills, meet new people, or expand their network of contacts as a way to get a new job or start a career. Others just want to give back to their community, to help a friend or promote a worthwhile activity. They do it because it makes them feel good. Whatever your reason, we value the enormous contribution volunteers make at SiT. We particularly encourage ex service users to be involved in some way – there’s a role for anyone who wants to be involved so if you would like to be considered for a position at SiT please get in touch or complete an application form.
