Volunteer Home Tutor role - Wellington

Volunteer Wellington

Do you have 1-2 hours a week to help a migrant or former refugee? English Language Partners New Zealand needs volunteer home tutors to teach English to new Kiwis in the Wellington area. When you volunteer to tutor someone with a migrant or refugee background in English, you give them the world. Your support will help them gain the skills and confidence they need to settle successfully in Aotearoa New Zealand.

As a volunteer tutor, you will learn about different cultures, broaden your horizons, and make meaningful connections with people you might not otherwise have met. As much as you teach your learner, you will learn and be inspired too. A long term commitment is required as comprehensive training is provided. The next Home Tutor Training is scheduled for: 15-17 August 2024.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
