VOLUNTEER
"Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once every three years, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in."

Benefits of Volunteering
Through volunteering you can build valuable skills and new networks.
You will be welcomed as a valued member of a small team, where you will have the opportunity to learn more about the Holocaust and its connection with New Zealand, along with the opportunity to contribute your own ideas and skills.
By volunteering with HCNZ, you will be helping to ensure that the Holocaust and its lessons remain relevant and remembered.
