Get Involved: Ararat Rural City Volunteer Expo Returns Next Month Ararat Rural City’s Volunteer Expo will make a return next month, showcasing the municipality’s diverse range of community volunteer groups and organisations. The Expo will provide the perfect opportunity for volunteer groups to proudly share their mission, provide a glimpse into their group’s activities, and network with prospective volunteers to highlight the invaluable role that volunteers play in the community.For those interested in unlocking a new passion, giving back to their community and making new connections, the Volunteer Expo is also the perfect place to learn more about Ararat Rural City’s many volunteer organisations who are seeking enthusiastic and skilled new members. From local sports such as athletics, cricket and netball, to local history, creative arts, faith, health and wellbeing, and more, there are many new opportunities waiting to be discovered. The Volunteer Expo will be held in collaboration with the Ararat Market on Sunday 13 April 2025 at Elizabeth Park from 7.30am – 1pm.
