Volunteering in the Community
Work and Income understands well the value of volunteering both to the community which benefits from the time and skill contributions of volunteers, and to the individual who gains new skills, social connection and potentially, paid employment.
Volunteering New Zealand, in collaboration with Work and Income, has prepared an information sheet about volunteering which includes contact details for the Volunteer Centres located around the country and a link to the VolunteerNow website which lists volunteer positions.
We encourage our clients and our Community Link partners to consider volunteering from an individual or organisational perspective.
