RECRUITING VOLUNTEERSVolunteerNow is the online resource for volunteering opportunities in New Zealand and is provided as an initiative of Volunteering New Zealand (VNZ), an association of volunteer centres and national and other organisations with a commitment to volunteering.
VNZ's mission is to create an environment that supports, values and encourages effective volunteering by the people of Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Three guiding principlesof VNZ:
- Lead the initiatives and development of new opportunities which will strengthen supporting infrastructure and quality of volunteering
- Promote the importance of volunteering and its role in achieving active citizenship
- Represent the volunteering sector and ensure their interests and needs had been heard by policy makers and legislators
VNZ is not a recruitment agency in the manner of a Volunteer Centre. However, voluntary organisations can list volunteer positions on VolunteerNow . This is a great tool to add to your methods of attracting volunteers.
Placing Positions on VolunteerNow
If you are a national organisation with a commitment to volunteering join or contact VNZ to find out how to have your positions listed.
If you are a local or regional organisation you can become a member of the nearest Volunteer Centre and have your volunteer positions listed with them. The Volunteer Centres list their volunteer positions on VolunteerNow.
By placing a position on VolunteerNow you are confirming that the voluntary position being advertised is not paid or otherwise remunerated, nor will it be displacing a paid position. Please see the Codes of Practice for more detail.
