Opportunity of the week
Would you like to share practical life skills, and support/mentor whanāu?
Consider volunteering as a Korowai Aroha Programme Mentor.
The goal is to build self-confidence by sharing practical knowledge that will enable whanau to learn new skills and make the most of the finances and resources available to them.
We especially need people with experience and skills in:
- Raising tamariki/children
- Running a household
- Cooking and baking
- Growing your own kai/food
- Basic budgeting
- Sewing or other crafts
Our Ideal Volunteers are:
- Empathetic and non-judgemental
- Patient with good communication skills
- Enjoy working with whanau
- Have a good sense of humour.
If you have skills and experience that may enhance the lives of whanau, we would love to hear from you.
