The Waimakariri District Council is one of the largest employers in the Waimakariri District and has become an employer of choice.
One of the key themes in the Waimakariri District's Community Development Strategy was to support the volunteer sector to increase its capacity and capability.
There has been a lot of research developed around the volunteer experiences and their capacity in light of the impact of the earthquakes on the wider community. The "State of Volunteering in New Zealand Report" produced by Volunteering New Zealand, provides some key facts nationally in relation to the importance of volunteers in the sector stating that two-thirds of the non-profit sector workforce is made up of volunteers and their contribution is valued at over $3.3 billion. Their report also states that the majority of volunteer-involving organisations face considerable challenges with volunteer recruitment.
If you would like more information about Volunteering, please contact Wendy Howe, Community Development Facilitator. Ph: 03 311 8900
Groups and organisations who provide a range of community services around Waimakariri will have displays at these Volunteer Expos.

You can gain new skills, share your knowledge and experience, add extra fulfilment to your life, make others feel better, improve the environment and enjoy a sense of giving back.
