Volunteers are the heart of NQCC.

We thrive on the energy, skills, and commitment of people who want to protect North Queensland’s environment through advocacy, planning, and community organising.

We offer a range of volunteering opportunities - from time-flexible involvement to longer-term roles - depending on what you’re looking for and how you’d like to contribute.

You'll hear about arising volunteer opportunities through our monthly Paperbark e-newsletter, but if you're looking for something more substantial or ongoing, check out our options below and complete the form to express your interest!
