This manual is designed to assist volunteers with a disability as well as staff and mentors at not-for-profit groups.

It was developed by Eastern Volunteers, The Avenue Neighbourhood House and each Social and Community Services as part of a Victorian State Government funded grant in 2011.

The manual is based on the NSW Volunteer mentor model ‘Side By Side’ and contains:

• Training for volunteers with a disability
• A manual for not-for-profit groups on how to be inclusive of volunteers with disabilities
• A manual for someone acting as a mentor to a volunteer with a disability
• A general disability awareness manual
