On 23 March 2017 we are commencing Induction Training for potential Volunteer Interviewers. Interested? Please read:
Volunteer Interviewer - Citizens Advice Bureau Christchurch Area
Short Description
Telephone and Face to Face Interviewer to provide free and confidential advice to everyone. Take the time to listen and equip clients with the information, options and support that fit their needs.
Detailed Description
It's all about the client - Our Volunteer Interviewers say: "I feel good about helping others", "I make a difference", "I learn things myself too".
It takes a team of trained Volunteers who give at least 3 hours a week of their skills, time and knowledge. We offer clients information to enable them to make informed decisions on anything from consumer rights, work conditions, neighbour disputes to relationship issues. There’s certainly never a dull moment .
Full training and support provided.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
