Celebrating Student And Youth Volunteers

Student Volunteer Week 2021: Give-Takoha | Grow-Whakatipu | Connect-Tūhono runs nationwide from 15-21 March 2021.

Student Volunteer Week celebrate the tens of thousands of students and youth who connect, give and grow through volunteering, Mahi Aroha and social action. Their contribution has an enormous impact on communities and causes.

“Volunteering can be a pathway to leadership, skills development, channelling passion and connecting with people and causes,” Michelle Kitney, Chief Executive Volunteering New Zealand.

“Student volunteers give a hand and add real value to their community. Together they make a substantial impact on Aotearoa New Zealand. By giving to a community or cause, student volunteers grow and flourish. They gain knowledge, skills and new experiences and create change within their communities,” adds Michelle Kitney.
