"VOLUNTEERING OTAGO"
About Us:
The Volunteer Centre started in 1986, and was originally under the auspices of the Dunedin Council of Social Services. It is believed to be the first full Volunteer Centre established in New Zealand. The centre started small - originally run entirely through voluntary effort. We are now based on Level One of Community House with many similar community organisations.
Our programmes and services act as a link between willing volunteers and registered not-for-profit organisations in the Otago area. We run lunchtime workshops on a regular basis covering a range of topics.
(See our our Upcoming Events page.)
We offer training sessions and networking opportunities for co-ordinators/managers of volunteers in not-for-profit organisations registered with us.
