Volunteer
Volunteering brings everyone together and helps to build a stronger sense of community. For Friendship House, along with cash, volunteer services are the most recognised and valuable form of direct giving to our organisation.
If you have an area of expertise you’d like to offer, we’d love to hear from you! Just fill in the form below or phone us on (09) 262 2322.
Some of the ways you can volunteer:
Join our Hospitality Team
Over the course of a week we have many visitors who need assistance, a friendly face and helpful manner can make a huge difference to their day. A volunteer who can offer hospitality has a valuable contribution to make at Friendship House.
Become a Friendship House Change Agent
Throughout the year our Community Centre promotes local community events and ‘awareness days’. From time to time we also visit our neighbours to keep them informed of our services and activities. This all takes time and effort to organise and carry out and willing hands are welcome. The gift of your time to help with event support and promotional activities would be greatly appreciated.
Business and Administration
Everything we do requires planning, preparation, measurement and reporting. We understand the need to be responsive in our increasingly high tech world and value professional pro bono support in this area when specific projects arise. If you want to champion our work by offering this type of support we would love to hear from you.
Student Placements
Community development is another important area of work for Friendship House. We see partnering with Tertiary Education institutes as an important way of investing in the future of our community and building social capital.
Please note: There are some specific criteria that must be met to qualify for some of the volunteering tasks.
