Our FREE volunteer matching service

Jyn from Volunteer Marlborough

VM provides a FREE volunteer matching service which connects people to opportunities around Wairau/Marlborough. Here's how it works:
1. You can visit our website (www.volunteermarlborough.org.nz) to browse opportunities or make an appointment to talk through your options with VM staff.
2. You select up to 3 opportunities and apply online or with one of our staff.
3. The organisation and you then meet to discuss the volunteering opportunity further. Some organisations will do an informal interview.
4. Then, if you decide that an opportunity is a good fit for you, the next step is to fill in any paperwork (e.g. criminal record check and volunteer agreement).
5. After that, all that is left to do is start volunteering!
Volunteer Marlborough is here to support all volunteers through this process as much as each individual needs. If you have questions or concerns during any part of this process, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
