EdConnect Week Hompage 2026
TOGETHER, WE HELP STUDENTS THRIVE
Across Australia, over 1,700 EdConnect volunteers are making a difference in the lives of students — one reading session, one conversation, one moment of encouragement at a time.
In 2025, EdConnect volunteers contributed an incredible 80,293 hours, supporting 24,258 students in schools across Australia.
EdConnect Week is our annual celebration of the volunteers, schools, partners and communities working together to help students learn, grow and thrive.
WHY EDCONNECT WEEK MATTERS
Every student deserves the opportunity to feel supported, connected and confident at school.
For some young people, a little extra support can make a big difference. An EdConnect volunteer might help a student build their literacy or numeracy skills, provide encouragement through mentoring, share workplace experiences or simply be a trusted, positive presence at school.
And the impact is clear.
A MESSAGE FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS
EdConnect Week is all about YOU.
Every hour you give. Every skill you share. Every student you encourage.
Thank you for showing up, building connections and helping young people believe in themselves.
From classrooms to playgrounds and from literacy and numeracy support to mentoring and workplace programs, your contribution helps students build confidence, develop skills and reach their potential.
Thank you for being part of the EdConnect community.
