Residents in Fernvale, Queensland, can now support children in foster care from home by volunteering for a charity that connects young people with local sports teams. The organisation, Fostercare Sports, is looking for remote volunteers to help with marketing and communications in March 2026.

The charity focuses on helping children in the foster care system find a sense of belonging and gain confidence through exercise and team activities. By joining local sports clubs, these children have the opportunity to build long-term friendships and learn new skills in a supportive environment.

The volunteer roles are listed as remote only on the Volunteering NSW website, which means people living in Fernvale can help without having to travel. Those with experience in media or storytelling are encouraged to apply to help the charity grow its reach across the country.

This initiative allows residents to use their professional skills to benefit children who may otherwise miss out on the perks of club sports. Volunteers will help share the charity’s mission of changing lives one team at a time through digital promotion and community awareness.
