SES volunteers on the Northern Rivers are driven by a profound sense of community and a commitment to helping others. Many find motivation in the life skills they gain through training and experience, which empower them to respond effectively in emergencies. The camaraderie built within the team fosters a sense of belonging and purpose.
Additionally, witnessing the direct impact of their efforts during crises—whether it’s providing assistance during floods, storms, or other disasters—reinforces their dedication. The opportunity to give back, support their neighbors, and make a positive difference in their community provides a deep sense of fulfillment.
Volunteers are often inspired by personal experiences, whether they’ve been affected by disasters themselves or have witnessed the resilience of their community. This shared motivation strengthens their resolve to be fully engaged and prepared to help when needed. Ultimately, it’s all about making the Northern Rivers region a safer place for everyone.
