Logo for Citizen Advocacy Auckland Inc. Citizen Advocacy Auckland Inc.

Citizen Advocacy believes that enduring relationships have the best capacity to protect people with an intellectual disability from harm and provide a sense of belonging to, and connection with, their community.

Citizen Advocacy Auckland began in 1990. We establish and support one to one relationships between a person who has an intellectual disability and is vulnerable (a protégé) and a resourceful, principled citizen who is free from conflict of interest and is unpaid (an advocate).

Volunteer Stories

Helping young people grow

I had a family friend who supported and mentored me when I was young. I felt that I could give back and that I wanted to give back.
