In partnership with Volunteering New Zealand, Victoria University of Wellington undertook a nationwide survey of Managers of Volunteers between November 2009 and February 2010. Funding for this survey was received from the Tindall Foundation. The initial response rate has been in excess of 800 individual replies to the survey with the replies coming from a broad range of Manager of Volunteer sources.
Two very successful national events involving Volunteering NZ (VNZ), other national volunteer recognition activities, many local events and wide spread media coverage all made Volunteer Awareness Week 2010 a great success. The Week, this year celebrated from 20th to 26th June, carried the theme "Volunteering Across The Generations".
Hosted by Singapore's National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre, the event will run in conjunction with the tenth anniversary of the International Year of Volunteers (IYV+10) and IAVE's 40th anniversary. In the tradition of recent IAVE conferences, an affiliated Youth Volunteer Conference will be held on January 21-23 at the campus of the Singapore Management University.
