Become a Volunteer
Our whānau mentors are at the heart of everything we do. They play a vital role in the valuable support and services we provide to participants throughout our community. Our volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds and bring a wealth of skills, experience, and knowledge to share. If you have skills to offer and a passion for helping others, we would love to hear from you.
You do not need to be a grandparent - or even a certain age - to volunteer with us. Everyone is welcome.
To help you feel confident and supported in your role, all volunteers receive:
· A clear position description outlining responsibilities and expectations, so you are clear about your role and what is expected of you
· Training and induction
· Ongoing mentoring and support
There are many opportunities to get involved and make a positive difference in your community. If you would like to volunteer, please visit our Volunteer Page or complete the application form below.
