Volunteers are at the heart of the community energy movement. Every project, campaign and local initiative is strengthened by people who generously share their time, skills and passion. By volunteering with Energy Together or one of our member organisations, you become part of a national effort to help communities take charge of their energy future.

Community energy projects need a wide range of skills — from communications, event support and community engagement to technical expertise, governance, research and project coordination. Whether you’re an experienced professional or simply eager to contribute, there’s a place for you. Volunteers help groups navigate early project stages, support local organising, assist with resource development, and contribute to sector‑wide initiatives that benefit communities across Australia.

Volunteering is also a chance to learn. You’ll connect with people who are building solar farms, batteries, energy‑sharing systems and innovative local solutions. You’ll gain insight into how community energy works, how projects get off the ground, and how collective action can influence policy and accelerate the transition to renewable energy.

Your time and skills can make a real difference. By stepping forward, you help strengthen the movement, support communities, and build a cleaner, fairer energy future powered by people.
