Volunteering with Plunket

As a Plunket volunteer you will be supported by our amazing Community Services team. They'll help you find a volunteer role that you’d enjoy, and that works in harmony with your own family or work commitments.

We have a range of roles that may work for you, from running new parent groups or playgroups, teaching early childhood education skills to teens or supporting our many fundraising events. You might even like to volunteer your time from the comfort of your home, by Knitting for Plunket – taking up your needles and crafting some booties or a hat for a new pēpi is a beautiful show of aroha and support.

It all depends on what your interests and skills are, and what opportunities we have.

Emma Marriott started volunteering after attending a local ‘Plunket In the Neighbourhood’ (PIN) group in Wellington.

"Health and Safety was a role I had carried out at my previous job, so I was very keen to help out and take on the role. It involves me checking over the two buildings to ensure they are up to standard and I submit monthly reports, while also liaising with those who hire the rooms to ensure it all runs smoothly. I am on the committee and help out with fundraising events such as the annual Teddy Bear's Picnic as part of the local fair."
