How to Participate in International Volunteers Day 2023?
Participating in International Volunteers Day is an excellent way to recognize and support the efforts of volunteers in your community. Here are some ways to get involved:
• Volunteer Your Time: Consider volunteering for a cause or organization that aligns with your interests and skills. Your contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference.
• Thank a Volunteer: Take the time to express gratitude to volunteers you know personally or within your community. A simple “thank you” can go a long way in acknowledging their efforts.
• Donate to Volunteer Organizations: Financial contributions to volunteer organizations can help support their programs and initiatives. Even a modest donation can have a positive impact.
History of International Volunteers Day
International Volunteers Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1985 to recognize and celebrate the contributions of volunteers worldwide. It was first observed in 1986. The day also serves as an opportunity to highlight the importance of volunteerism in achieving sustainable development goals.
IVD celebrates the spirit of volunteerism and the power of individuals to create positive change in their communities and the world.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
