Why volunteer
More than just a walk
Volunteering is about connection, purpose, and building something that outlasts you.
Give back to community
Help create a welcoming space where people connect, belong, and support each other through shared movement.
Build real friendships
Volunteer walk leaders consistently say it's one of the best ways to meet genuine, like-minded people in your area.
Create healthy habits
Lead by example. Help others, and yourself, build sustainable, joyful movement habits every single Sunday.
Make your mark
Your name and effort will be woven into the origin story of every location you help launch. Literally a legacy.
How it feels
Do good. Feel good.
You feel good
Fresh air, movement and a crowd of smiling faces. Volunteers tell us they finish every Sunday feeling lighter, prouder and more energised.
You connect
Side-by-side conversations turn into friendships. Volunteering plugs you straight into a local crew who show up for each other.
You help others
For someone new to town, or just needing a friendly face, you might be the reason they come back next week.
What makes Social Walks tick
It's easier than you think
Our walks run on a team of community volunteers who simply help out on the Sundays they're available. There's no fixed commitment: pick the weeks that suit you, choose a role that feels comfortable, and show up.
Lead Walker
Walk at the front, set the pace, guide everyone along the route.

Support Walker / Check-in
Walk mid-pack, support other walkers, and help guide people through self check-in on arrival.
Tail Walker
Walk at the back of the group to make sure nobody gets left behind.
