Volunteering New Zealand’s
Come and help shape the future of volunteering in Aotearoa
The landscape of volunteering is changing, in some cases exacerbating the changes we were already seeing, in others creating another shift entirely. Change presents different challenges across the sector, but also highlights unique opportunities for reshaping and improving the practice of volunteering.
Be inspired and challenged to think about diversity and inclusion in volunteering. Learn skills for improving your wellbeing and extend your networks. Share your views as we question what we want the future of volunteering to look like. Take action towards shaping a national volunteering strategy.
There are two key events:
- Celebratory dinner: Wednesday 20 October
- Pivot conference: Thursday 21 October.
