Long term
Family Life has been working with vulnerable children, families and communities since 1970. At the core of our organisation is our vision to build capable communities, strong families and thriving children.
As an organisation we celebrate diversity and inclusion. We value, respect, and listen to people who are culturally and/or linguistically diverse, gender and sexually diverse and people with a disability.
Family Life has multiple Community Opportunity Shops located across the Bayside, Mornington Peninsula and Kingston regions of Melbourne. These community-hubs are vibrant spaces, each shop playing an important role in the lives of the community of which they are a part.
The Volunteer Retail Assistants help raise funds to support Family Life’s services by assisting in the day to day operations of our Community Opportunity Shops. Make a positive difference and support your local community.
Family Life was founded by volunteers and they continue to play a key role in making a positive difference in supporting our community.
