Volunteering Auckland has over 400 Not For Profit, non Governmental Agencies registered with it who are looking for volunteers to enhance their services. Check out voluntary roles here ...
Volunteering Auckland advertises around the city to attract people like you to look at the opportunities available to volunteer. We find out what type of volunteer activity you would like to get involved in, match you up with a voluntary position within a community organisation, then arrange an appointment for you with this group. You then present / visit at the organisation where they will explain in more detail about the position on offer.
If the position is not suitable and you require other options you are able to contact Volunteering Auckland by phone or email, as once we have your details in the computer there is no need for you to visit us in person unless you would prefer to. This also applies if you require volunteer work in the future, or encounter any problems in your volunteer work. [We are working on getting this option on-line as well]
On behalf of our member community organisations we ask for at least three to six months’ commitment as they can spend a lot of time and energy in training you for your position. It is a policy at some of our member organisations that a conviction check may be required, in particular if the group is dealing with vulnerable clients e.g. children or the elderly.
Voluntary activity takes as little as ONE hour per week. It is not a lot! You can volunteer during the day, in the evenings or on the weekend. The time required, however, for your voluntary activity is dependent on the type of position you are looking for.
We trust that you will enjoy your volunteer experience and join us to help you ‘make a difference’!

"In an Emergency" - Sarah Case volunteers at the North Shore Hospital as a Friend of the Emergency Department. “I walk around the emergency department and chat to patients.
"Confident in my Abilities" - According to Sanoja Lokuliyanage , one of the benefits of volunteering is that it helped her to gain more confidence in her abilities. “Volunteering is a good way to use your skills in a non- stressful environment."
"Fascinated by Experiences" - When Kim de Souza saw Volunteering Auckland on campus, she thought, “here’s a good way to get among the Kiwis”
