Volunteering

Ordinary people - extraordinary contribution
Why not give volunteering a go!

Volunteering is about giving your time to help somebody or achieve something - to help your community. Volunteering is also the glue that holds our society together.

Whatever your situation - supporting a worthwhile cause through volunteering can give you a lot in return, including

• new skills - Building your confidence
• keeping active and involved - meeting people
• the opportunity and ability to work with a range of people
• personal satisfaction - a sense of belonging

The first step

The key to successful volunteering is to find an opportunity that will complement your lifestyle, suit your personality and is of personal interest to you.

What to expect

Volunteering today involves more than just stepping forward. Today more than ever, care needs to be taken to match volunteers to positions to ensure a positive experience for all concerned.

In Auckland we have Volunteering Auckland, an organisation committed to ensuring that the right placement and a positive volunteering experience are had by all. Why not put your hand up, and call them now for more information.
