We're fundraising to support youth volunteering
From yesterday, you can donate to Volunteer Marlborough via Givealittle to help us employ a dedicated Youth Worker who will provide resources and support to the rangatahi (youth) of Wairau (Marlborough) in their volunteering journey.
💙 Donations of any size are welcome.
MORE INFO:
Volunteer Marlborough is committed to supporting the young people of Marlborough by helping them gain valuable skills through volunteering. We do this by facilitating an awesome Youth Engagement Programme.
Regular access to volunteering opportunities, where our young people can learn, grow, develop new skills, and build on existing ones can lead to better outcomes not just for the young people but also our communities.
Youth who volunteer are more likely to perform better in school as well as find employment they thrive in. Volunteering gives youth the opportunity to work through real challenges and lead meaningful change in the communities they love.
We are determined to help the youth of Marlborough learn and grow, but we need YOUR help to get our Youth Engagement Programme going with a dedicated and qualified Youth Worker to engage with the young people in our region.
Any questions can be emailed to our Manager, Meg, at mgr@volunteermarlborough.org.nz

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
0% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
0% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
0% ... It is complicated
