Become a Volunteer

Feel like doing something different? ...... Feel like being involved?

Find out more about the enormous benefits of volunteering, both to the individual and to the community. Imagine a week or even a day in our community, if all our volunteers were not able to help out! Working as a volunteer is not about financial remuneration but it is about personal reward, skill utilisation and skill acquisition. It can also lead to community service awards, employment, higher self-esteem and social standing. People who volunteer find it rewarding on a personal level. They develop skills and confidence, the ability to work with a range of people, as well as the satisfaction of contributing to their community in a positive manner.

Volunteering Auckland matches would-be volunteers with the type of voluntary activity they would like to do. Cheryl Martin the Regional Manager says, "Volunteering Auckland has lots of opportunities for people wanting to get involved in their community. Sometimes we can be a bit complacent and say that ‘some one else will do it’ … well, one day we are going to run out of those someone else’s … so how about volunteering yourself and become one of Auckland’s most valuable assets … its human resources".
