The State of Volunteering in Aotearoa New Zealand Report 2024 has been released.
This report details aspects of volunteering in New Zealand and the experience of volunteers and community organisations.
It is also indirectly a snapshot of the challenges facing our society that volunteers and community organisations see on a day-to-day basis.
Volunteers live and work in a challenging and ever-changing world. Because volunteering is an inherently social activity, volunteers often see first-hand the social, cultural, economic, and political dynamics of our world.
Volunteers are often at the coalface of responding to disasters and emergencies; they often meet the needs of people who fall through the cracks, providing them with services such as foodbanks and emergency shelters.
