Campaigns
International Volunteer Managers Day 2018
2018 Theme: “Time for Change”. We hope that this timely theme will allow us to explore the changes needed in our great profession, to ensure it remains relevant and powerful into the future.
IVMD is a chance to recognise and celebrate the vital work managers of volunteers provide to volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations through effective volunteer strategy, culture, communication and resources. Without this work, volunteers’ time, talents and efforts would be wasted.
When: 5 November 2018
International Volunteer Day 2018
International Volunteer Day was established by UN Volunteers and is celebrated every year on December 5. This is a day to show our appreciation for the volunteers in Aotearoa and around the world who keep our communities strong and thriving. This year’s theme ‘Building resilient communities’ speaks to this, and ‘Grow volunteers’ shows the ongoing importance of volunteering.
When: 5 December 2018
National Volunteer Week
Each year New Zealand celebrates National Volunteer Week to recognise and celebrate the vital contribution of New Zealand’s approximately 1.2 million volunteers in areas as diverse as social development, the economy and the environment. We celebrate volunteers and the invaluable contribution they make to our communities.
When: 16 – 22 June 2019
