Spinning Opportunity into Gold

On July 30th, the Volunteering Hawkes Bay team went along to a Willy Wonka-themed Orientation at EIT, welcoming over 200 new students with a splash of colour, creativity, and connection.

Armed with golden chocolate bars and our signature “Wheel of Opportunity,” we invited students to explore the many ways they could give back through volunteering. From interactive games to one-on-one chats, our table was buzzing with energy and curiosity.

A huge thanks to hosts for this opportunity and to our amazing volunteers for making this event a golden success. We loved sharing the joy of volunteering—and we’re already looking forward to the next one!

✨ Because when you open the door to volunteering, you never know what golden opportunity you’ll find.
