Volunteer coordinator jobs in the social work sector can often require a Community Services qualification. While each position is different, often a Certificate II of Community Services and Certificate III of Community Services will equip you with the skills and knowledge to pursue a volunteer coordinator role. These learning pathways take 12-24 months each depending on if you study on campus, online or through blended study modes and if you study full or part time. Both these nationally accredited qualifications feature a work placement component as well.
