Supplying job references is just one of the ways the Arts Village will support its volunteers through a new programme.
Volunteer co-ordinator Frances Berkers said the programme aimed to take better care of volunteers and make sure that they were getting what they needed out of the experience.
It's the first time the Arts Village has had a volunteer co-ordinator role.
Building relationships with volunteers was a big part of her role, she said.
"It starts with the recruiting and organising of the volunteers, and also in having someone where we can get to know them a lot better and find out what they are looking to get out of the experience.
