Get Involved

There are lots of ways you can become part of the Commonground story.

As a community based organisation we rely on volunteers, members, residents, and staff to stay open, active and engaged.

We also have a strong commitment to making sure that everyone who contributes to Commonground gets some reciprocal benefit.

What skills and experience is Commonground looking for?

Commonground is interested in any skills, knowledge or abilities that can help us run our venue, develop our social enterprise, and help maintain our property, gardens, buildings, and infrastructure.

We also have dedicated working groups that focus on running certain parts of Commonground. These include Community, Infrastructure, Outreach, Venue and Commonground Council. To find out more about these visit our Membership page.

We are also interested in people who can help us build our networks and community to help keep the social change movement alive.
