We are all different...

Hannah Cunningham from Volunteer Marlborough

We recognise that people are different and,because of this, volunteering cannot be 'one-size fits all'. That's why we offer 'reverse recruitment'.⁠


Are you looking for a volunteering opportunity that is a little out of the ordinary? Or looking to use specific skills? ⁠

Maybe you've looked through the volunteer roles listed on our website and we just don't have what you're looking for at the moment?



This is where our Reverse Recruitment programme comes in. Reverse Recruitment is a FREE service that involves you sitting down with a VM staff member to talk about who YOU are and what YOU want to get out of volunteering. We ask about your dreams, hobbies, skills, passions, experience, future plans, etc. We then build a unique profile and send it out to our network of community organisations and groups so that we can find an opportunity that is tailored just for YOU!⁠ ⁠

⁠

Interested? Sign up online here: bit.ly...

or make an appointment via our main Facebook page, by calling 03-577-9388, or emailing vm@volunteermarlborough.org.nz ⁠

Some Choice News!

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!
