Connect Our Hearts – Call for best volunteer moments

To celebrate National Volunteer Week 2021, 20-26 June, Volunteering New Zealand is gathering the volunteering stories from volunteers in Aotearoa. Consistent with the theme of this year’s National Volunteer

Week: Recognise, Connect, and Reimagine, we would like to collect your most touching volunteer moments from your volunteering experience. Let’s connect our hearts together by sharing our best volunteering moments!

1. Recognise volunteers: To recognise the wonderful volunteers in New Zealand, Volunteering New Zealand will issue an electronic participation reward to thank every volunteer for sharing their story with us. We will also share your stories on our social media platforms.
2. Connect our hearts: Record the most touching moments from your volunteering experience and share them with others. Let us connect our hearts together in Aotearoa.
