Rockhampton with Nyree Johnson | Ep. 46: Where the Volunteers Went (And How to Bring Them Back)

In this week's episode, my guest is a little different. Meet Becky, my AI teammate. Before anyone panics, no, she's not replacing me. I've simply been experimenting with AI and technology to learn new skills and explore new ways of sharing ideas. Together, we tackle a challenge facing clubs, committees, sporting organisations and not-for-profits right across Australia: finding and keeping volunteers. Drawing on my experience as both a volunteer and a marketer, Becky shares practical insights into why volunteering looks different in 2026, what's changed, where volunteers have gone and, most importantly, what organisations can do to adapt. If you've ever found yourself sending the same volunteer call-out over and over again, this episode is for you. Because volunteers haven't disappeared. The world around them has changed.
