If you want to help make a difference by donating your time for a cause you believe in, Plunket is a great place to start. We're always looking for new volunteers. Find out how rewarding giving your time and efforts can be and become a volunteer.

Your time

When you give the gift of your time, you'll get back as much as you give—maybe even more.

Each year thousands of volunteers give their time, knowledge and skills to support the work of Plunket and help us to achieve our vision of giving every child the best start. The time, talent, and effort that volunteers give means we can continue to provide our support and services to families with young children throughout New Zealand.

Volunteers from all walks of life, with their many valuable skills, are an important part of Plunket. Whether you want to improve your CV, meet new people or just feel good about yourself, Plunket may be the opportunity that could change your life for the better.

Plunket has a thorough volunteer education programme. This programme covers areas such as leadership, communication, presentation skills, health and safety, and educating the community. All these skills transfer well into paid employment, and can make you very attractive to employers.
