  • Parent/Caregiver Endorsement

  • Dear Parent/Caregiver of prospective Lasallian Volunteers,

    If you are reading this, your child or young person in your life has taken the first step in a life-changing journey to become a Lasallian Volunteer. If successful, your child or young person will get to experience new cultures while developing themselves in a supported environment.

    Past Volunteers have grown in many ways and have gained life skills that have set them up for life - however, we know that this does not happen accidentally. Volunteering requires many sacrifices from individuals and families that miss their presence for close to 12 months. The nature of our placements requires Lasallian Volunteers to sometimes work with vulnerable young people and adults who may come from a different background and upbringing to our volunteers.

    Lasallian Volunteers may often live away from home for the first time with new housemates they meet at our training program. It is our priority to ensure each person has their needs met, flourish, and the community they serve benefits from their presence.

    To help us make a more successful placement, we would like to understand your family member better and ask that you answer the following questions;

    1. What do you feel are your child or family member’s greatest strengths?
    2. What challenges do you think your child or family member may face in undertaking this role as a long term volunteer?
    3. Are you confident that your child or family member would be able to adapt to living away from home for 12 months?
    4. How do you see yourself supporting your child or family member on their journey?
    5. What support do you expect from Lasallian Mission Services while your child or family member is volunteering?
    6. Do you have any concerns about your child or family member becoming a long term Volunteer?

    Is there anything else you would like us to consider as part of your child or family member’s Lasallian Volunteer Application?


    If you have any questions or require clarification, please feel free to contact Lydia Avia-Aumua via email lydiaavia-aumua@delasalle.org.au or phone +61 468 931 439
