Cancer Council NSW/Volunteer/Unpaid

Sydney

Posted 20 Sep 2024

Closes 20 Oct 2024

Cancer Council’s 7 Bridges Walk is turning 19! On Sunday 20 October 2024 thousands of people will be walking 28km through Sydney Harbour (and across 7 bridges) to raise funds for people affected by cancer. 

Event Volunteers are crucial in assisting the events execution and success with 12,000 participants, 7 bridges and 6 villages. By volunteering your time, you can contribute directly to an event that is raising money to provide vital services and support to the almost 1 in 2 Australians affected by cancer by the age of 85.

CCNSW is an inclusive place to volunteer and work. We embrace diversity, celebrate our differences, and inspire each person to be their authentic self at work. As we strive to represent the communities we serve, we welcome and actively encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other diverse groups.
