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."

At the core of HCNZ’s operations is a team of hard-working, dedicated volunteers.
We are proud to be a volunteer-driven organisation and greatly appreciate the commitment.
HCNZ volunteers include people of all ages, from students to retirees, who enjoy working and socialising together as well as conveying meaningful experiences to visitors, both local and international. They often work closely with  staff and their input is greatly appreciated.

 
Our volunteers:
  • Operate our HCNZ Exhibition/ museum space: Visitor Hosts welcome visitors, provide them guided tours of the displays and answer queries. 
  • Volunteer 'admin activities': At times volunteers may take on more of an admin assistance role by helping with data input, online or telephone research, event preparation (such as photo copying, scanning, laminating).
  • Facilitate scheduled school and adult group visits: Volunteer Educators provide structured  educational sessions. See Programmes
  • Support our governance, policy, operations, outreach, and special events activities.
  • ​Work on special projects as required.
  • Come from a variety of backgrounds.
  • Are invaluable to the organisation.

HCNZ benefits from volunteers with the following attributes:
  • Knowledge of, or interest in learning about, Holocaust history  and heritage.
  • Ability to engage and work with a diverse range of individuals.
  • Willingness, initiative and attention to detail
  • Flexible, adaptable and with problem-solving capability
  • Friendly and reliable, with a positive team-based attitude
  • Excellent communication skills - oral and written
  • ​At least basic computer literacy, familiarity with Word and Google docs/sheets an advantage
  • Volunteer Educators are required to have some form of teaching experience

​Volunteers come from all walks of life. We have a variety of ages and backgrounds and the diversity only makes the team stronger.

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.
