“One of the greatest gifts you can give is your time.”
Volunteering is an amazing opportunity to learn new skills, contribute to a good cause, meet new people and make a difference. We may have opportunities at our Centres – Tongariro or Great Barrier Island, at our Auckland Office, or at one of our many Events. Check back here for updates.
