Volunteer week took place from June 18-24, in order to recognise the important work that volunteers are doing in the community.
If you have a little time on your hands, and have been considering volunteer work, think about working for the Citizen’s Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Botany.
We have a range of roles, either as an interviewer or in assisting with administration, social media, board member, legal clinic receptionist. We work with a wide variety of clients on the phone, by email or in person, dealing with a range of issues ranging from consumer and employment problems to neighbourhood disputes and more.
CAB provides an initial induction course, including how to use our database to find information, and we also provide ongoing training. Interviewers come from all walks of life, all ages and from many different cultures.
The work is interesting and varied and only involves a commitment of a few hours each week.
So, if you have some time, basic computer skills and an interest in people and their issues, and live in the Pakuranga or Botany area, give our Pakuranga manager a call between 9.30am and 4pm on 5768331 or email manager.pakauranga@cab.org.nz to find out more.
