Alongside his colleague Richard Browning, George is well known advocate, leader and voice in the field of service learning. 

In 2007, with Rachael Bishop, he founded teamSUPPORT, a project designed to encourage young people to participate in and lead charitable work. The teamSUPPORT project was honoured with an Order of Australia Association Committee Award in 2010 and with a National Volunteer Award (Under 25 Team Award) from the Australian Government in 2011. 

This was all followed by George's deeply personal memoir, Little Life, which traced the formation of teamSUPPORT alongside caring for a mother with dementia. May 3 saw the publication of its sequel, Big Life, which details his service learning philosophy in light of a recent project working with Radford staff and students, as well as his rock band Junk Sculpture, in developing lasting relationships with people in Gamilaraay country of northern New South Wales. These nurtured relationships, the school programs developed and the raised awareness of indigenous issues, history and culture during these "G-trips" were recognised with an Order of Australia Association Committee Award in 2015.
