THE RED RIBBON PROJECT

"Never doubt that a group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world;
 indeed it's the only thing that ever has."
- Margaret Mead

This week at Leeuwin, we have been dragging all of our volunteers into the back office to sign a giant piece of red ribbon. If you are one of our amazing red shirts or volunteers and haven't yet signed the ribbon... pop in to say hi in the next two days to be part of the Red Ribbon Project.

To celebrate 25 years, Volunteering WA is inviting all volunteers of Western Australia to sign  a piece of their red ribbon. At the end of the two weeks, our section will be collected and sewn to other volunteering organisation's sections to create one long red ribbon.

Once completed, the finished product will be wrapped around Government House on International Volunteer Day, December 5th, with thousands of signatures as a symbol of how volunteers make the world a better place.

Without volunteers, the Leeuwin would not sail and our amazing ocean adventures would not be an opportunity available to so many young Western Australians. The Red Ribbon Project is the perfect opportunity to show off some of our amazing volunteers.

Meet some of the team...
