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: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

🌍✈️ Why It's Plane Sense to Challenge the Flight Path ✈️🌍

Plane Sense from Plane Sense

Wellington Airport announced some 'Gamer Changer' information in the news. New infrastructure could mean bigger and louder planes over our suburbs, affecting more residents. Massive aircraft like the Boeing 777X and Airbus A350-900, are twice as loud as the jet flights we experience today. Using AI, we’ve created a visual comparison of these new planes—take a moment to check it out.

💡 What can we do? We need to act now to revert the flight path back over the harbour, rather than turning left after takeoff and climbing over the slopes of our peak terrain - Mount Kaukau. But to do that, we need your support.

📢 We’re raising $25K by 2025, and we could use your help to reach our goal. Help us take action.
