Daffodil Day is a crucial event for the Cancer Society, allowing us to provide essential services to New Zealanders living with cancer.
To help the Daffodil Month of August run smoothly, we need YOU as a volunteer area coordinator to support our wonderful volunteer collectors.
This role will need to commit a few hours per week in the lead up to Daffodil Day and includes training (via zoom sessions), for the role. The role includes putting out collection boxes, street appeal on Friday 26th August and for some areas Saturday 27th August. Where possible we suggest working with a team and helping to celebrate Daffodil Day with an event.
You will need:
