Why Volunteer?

Volunteering is rewarding, skill-building, good for our community & (most importantly) really, really fun. It fosters a stronger sense of belonging & community connection, increases resilience & helps to ensure that essential services remain available.

One million Kiwis volunteer each year, contributing $3.3 billion to our economy by providing companionship, planting trees, teaching children to dance, coaching soccer teams, collecting money and much, much more... the possibilities are endless!

Volunteers aren’t “good” people. They aren’t necessarily the ones who tuck in their shirts & iron their jeans & never run a red light. They are as diverse and different as the rest of the community. They are people just like you... so get onto it! Look through our volunteer opportunities online, or come in to our office and we'll help you find a volunteer position that's perfect for you. Act now!
