come and Be a part of the team
Since Canberra United was founded in 2008, the one thing that has been constant and unwavering throughout has been the strength, support and generosity of our community. The fans, the members, and those who put in hours of work to make it all happen: Volunteers are the heart of every match day.
But it’s not just about giving. Volunteering with Canberra United means stepping behind the curtain of an elite sporting organisation and seeing the parts of matchday most fans never do. It’s exciting, it’s a privilege, and it’s one of the best ways to feel truly part of the club.
Our volunteers are valued more than words can really capture. This club simply doesn’t run without you.
If you would like to volunteer with Canberra United, please fill in the Volunteers EOI form.
