Volunteering Northland celebrates the volunteer community in Te Tai Tokerau by hosting a day focused on volunteering, entertainment and making connections with local organisations doing amazing work in our community.
The Volunteer Fair is a free, family-friendly event that includes food, entertainment, and micro-volunteering opportunities. By bringing together volunteers and organisations from all backgrounds, we want to create a space where everyone can find a cause they believe in and feel a sense of belonging in their community.
Our Whangārei Youth Action Group is organising an Inner City Clean Up right after, 12.30 - 2.30pm!

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
