The MRCSA has an extensive network of over 300 bilingual volunteers it can draw upon at any point of time, speaking over 80 languages and who provide assistance across all program areas supporting the organisation to achieve its objectives.

The volunteer program is geared to provide a first entry point into work experience and pathway to vocational training and employment for people of refugee background. Approximately 60% of volunteers go on to further training and or secure employment.

Community Service Groups and Church Groups including Apex, Lions, Soroptimist International, Rotary, Kiwanis, Zonta, many branches of the Uniting Church, St Vincent de Paul, Magdalene Centre, Salvation Army, participate in the MRCSA programs through donations of toys, clothing, toiletry items and other goods to new arrivals, and also in mentoring and assisting recreational activities.

The MRCSA is a member of Volunteering SA and in 2005 was a South Australian recipient of the National Bank Volunteering Awards.
