VOLUNTEER

Picture
"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."

At the core of the Centre’s operations is a team of hard-working, dedicated volunteers. Volunteers do a range of tasks for the Centre, and we would be lost without them.

Benefits of volunteering include:

  • Teaching others about the Holocaust
  • Development of a range of other skills
  • Being a  valued member of a small team

We welcome people from diverse backgrounds and communities.  You can be 18 or 80, Jewish, non-Jewish, in Wellington or elsewhere.  

We are currently looking for  volunteers to assist with the following:​
  • T​eaching the Holocaust
  • Hosting at the Centre and events

Volunteer roles

Visitor hosts
