Sam, a student from Deakin University, was very excited about going to the camp and had met fellow candidates at the pre-camp events.

You can be a Volunteer at The Rotary International Convention 2023
Melbourne is looking forward to hosting the Rotary International Convention in 2023. A most liveable city with much to offer - we wish to demonstrate a warm and friendly welcome to all Rotarians attending from around the globe. 
  
A vital part of this is to have an engaged and energised volunteer team to assist all visitors during the Convention. We wish to include volunteers from all ages and backgrounds and create a diverse team. Volunteers may be Rotarians or Non-Rotarians - we encourage family and friends and all likeminded people - to be part of this wonderful opportunity to showcase Rotary and Melbourne. 
 
The Convention requires a huge number of volunteers to ensure its success and we are looking for more volunteers to register and be willing to undertake at least one shift of four hours during the Convention.
