Sydney mum's post sparks debate on parent volunteering
Original: 'A Sydney mum's Facebook post asked why parents don't volunteer anymore. I know exactly what happened.'
A Sydney mother's question about why parents no longer volunteer at schools and community groups has struck a chord, with a writer responding that exhausted, stretched-thin parents are simply out of time and capacity rather than unwilling to help. The discussion taps into wider frustration about rising demands on families and the shrinking pool of people able to give unpaid time.
Why now: It resonates with parents who feel overcommitted and reflects a broader debate about declining volunteer participation.
