Welcome to the Our Village Corporate Volunteering Program where your team can make a real difference for Victoria’s most vulnerable babies and children.
Looking for the ultimate team-building experience with more purpose than a scavenger hunt and better rewards than an escape room? You and your team can enjoy a break from your day-to-day to roll up your sleeves and help out in our welcoming Melbourne (Clayton) or Geelong warehouses.
Here are just a few of the meaningful tasks you’ll tackle:
Your team will get hands-on in one of the Our Village warehouses, making a meaningful difference by organising, cleaning or packing essential items for vulnerable babies and children. Depending on the day, your team may be cleaning, safety-checking, and assembling prams, car seats, and high chairs, sorting and packing clothing, toys, and books or preparing toiletries packs for babies and carers.
At the end of the day, we’ll celebrate the impact you’ve had and we’ll also share images of your team at work from the day.
Timings – Melbourne: Monday – Friday (9.30am – 4pm); Geelong: Monday – Friday (9.30am – 2.30pm).
Melbourne (Clayton) Warehouse:
We can welcome teams of 5-30 people.
Monday – Friday (9.30am – 4pm)
Geelong Warehouse:

We charge $110 (plus GST) per person to help cover our costs with a minimum spend of $1,100 (plus GST) per workplace team.
This enables us to provide trained staff to guide your team throughout the day, helping you get the most out of your volunteering experience. The rest goes directly to our work to rehome essentials to thousands of babies and children each year.
