Volunteering Northland

Volunteering Northland is a non-profit organisation providing a recruitment and referral service for volunteers and facilitates and enhances volunteering in general. Local organisations and organisers of one-off community events that involve volunteers sign up at the volunteer centre and list their available opportunities for volunteers. The opportunities are accessible on-line, at the centre, advertised in local media, on social media and promoted at public events. The volunteer centre matches potential volunteers with opportunities. The centre provides a wide variety of opportunities and different arrangements for youth, migrants, teams and others who are looking to find their place in the community. The volunteer centre supports and provides training for volunteer managers/coordinators, raising the level of professionalism. The centre provides advice, advocacy and recognition for the volunteer.
