Becoming a Volunteer
Sydney u3a presentations, courses and events are managed and run entirely by volunteers. Our wonderful and willing band of volunteers help with course and event organisation, bookings, administration, presentations, equipment and more. This is a great way to get to know your fellow members and to make a contribution to the successful running of Sydney u3a.
