Volunteer with Buddies Day -Make a Difference & Have Fun!
Advertised by Volunteering Queensland
Buddies Day is a free, once-a-month weekend program run by Vinnies Youth Queensland for kids aged 8–12. It’s all about giving kids a fun, safe day out where they can make friends, try new things, and connect with positive role models.
Many of our Little Buddies come from a variety of life situations — some may be going through tough times — and Buddies Day provides a space where they can just be kids, build confidence, and feel they belong in a supportive, positive environment.
As a volunteer, or Big Buddy, you’ll be part of the team that brings the day to life. You’ll help plan activities, hang out with the kids, join in the fun, and help create a warm, welcoming atmosphere all day long.
Each Buddies Day is unique, but we always keep things fun, active, and engaging. Past activities have included: 🎨 Arts & crafts and cooking 🎳 Bowling, swimming, and team games 🎅 Themed celebrations 🕵️ Scavenger hunts and sports 🦘 Zoo and museum trips 🧪 Science days, laser tag, and much more!
Our program is built on Vinnies values of compassion, respect, courage, and community. Buddies Day is a place where kids feel seen, supported, and celebrated — a space filled with fun, friendship, and safety.
