Volunteering
Most community groups depend on the work of volunteers. This Guide helps you recruit, welcome, train, retain and recognise volunteers. If you can suggest useful resources, contact us.
We are grateful to Volunteering New Zealand's Tim Burns and Fairul Ghani for being the editors for this guide. Volunteering New Zealand (VNZ) is an association of volunteer centres and organisations which supports, promotes, values and encourages effective volunteering.
Our thanks go also to Lincoln University, Cora Bailey, and to Ruth Gardner of Volunteering Canterbury who have contributed a great deal.
