Across Australia, over a thousand EdConnect volunteers are transforming young lives — one reading session, one conversation, one moment of encouragement at a time.

EdConnect Week is our annual celebration of the volunteers, schools, and communities working together to help every student thrive.

Why EdConnect Week Matters

Too many young people in our schools face barriers to learning and connection. With the support of caring volunteers, students feel seen, supported, and ready to succeed.

This week, we’re shining a spotlight on the extraordinary impact that  every day people make every day in classrooms and playgrounds across the country.

A Message for You – Our Volunteers

EdConnect Week is all about YOU – our incredible volunteers. Every hour you give helps students feel supported, connected, and confident in school. From classrooms to communities, your impact is immeasurable.

EdConnect Week is our way of saying thank you.
Thank you for the time, care, and kindness you bring.
Thank you for showing up and reminding young people that they matter.
