Why We Need Volunteers Volunteering provides the community with hands on experience into the sports event management industry. All those who work with Surfng NSW have been recruited through volunteering, work experience or Internships.

Volunteers are essential to the events success and fun. Ensuring our participants, a safe and positive experience is also a key priority. Volunteers are involved throughout the day, and we aim to ensure a valued experience, one that you feel made a difference, was enjoyable, rewarding and safe.

As such, volunteers play a pivotal role, in the set up of the event sites, the registration process, safety and other specific roles to assist in a successful and professional event which will leave a lasting positive experience for all involved.
