Join us as a volunteer

Social Policy Connections welcomes warmly the contributions of volunteers with special skills. As the work of SPC expands, we welcome people to help on committees, in research and publications, administration, IT, media liaison, and fundraising. If you think you may have a contribution to make, we would be pleased to talk with you.

Forge a corporate partnership

Social Policy Connections recognises the contribution and expertise of people in the business world. Especially, we value the skills and practical knowhow of those who wish to foster relationships which help bring about improved living conditions for others in Australia and overseas. We welcome workplace giving, pro-bono support, the sharing of expertise, and volunteering, as well as financial and in-kind support.

We would be pleased to talk with you about how to develop such a partnership. Contact us.

SPC values the contributions of large and small companies. Through partnerships and in a range of ways, they can help reshape our nation’s thinking and our future.

We will avoid, nevertheless, as much as we reasonably can, seeking support from companies in which the main activity:

  • harms human dignity or human rights
  • employs discriminatory work practices
  • is in the arms industry
  • causes significant damage to the environment
  • promotes or profits from gambling
  • is in the tobacco industry or related products.

We recognise, of course, that Social Policy Connections has an ethical responsibility to make good use of the donations it receives.

Social Justice studies

Social Policy Connections shares responsibility with Yarra Theological Union for coordinating the program of social justice units and degrees offered by YTU in association with the MCD University of Divinity.

Students may take individual units in social justice, as part of the Bachelor of Theology degree, or can specialise in various social justice degrees, ranging from the one-year MCD Diploma in Social Justice Studies, or the longer Master of Arts concentrating on social justice units.

A full list of the subjects offered can be found in the YTU handbook. Units may vary from year to year.
