Kia ora koutou,
National Volunteer Week was last week, and we want to keep celebrating our volunteers who keep our collectives going. We'd love you to join us for a special online conversation celebrating the people who make our communities stronger every day.
The Power of Showing Up - Stories, Lessons and Inspiration from Community Volunteers
Every community project starts with someone willing to show up.
Join us as we hear from inspiring community leaders and volunteers who will share their experiences, lessons learned, and the impact that volunteering can have on both individuals and communities. Whether you're already involved in community work or looking for inspiration to get started, this webinar is for you.
