Volunteering New Zealand runs a mentoring programme for volunteer managers.
We know that to support volunteer managers is to grow volunteering.
The current programme, March to September 2025, is now full.
We will advertise when we open a new programme in 2026.
Participants gain great benefits from mentoring
-
- Increased effectiveness for mentees in their roles, achieved through development of their leadership skills, knowledge and confidence.
- A great career development opportunity for both mentees and mentors.
- One-on-one support for mentees to help identify personal development priorities.
- Opportunities to improve networks and connections with leaders in the community sector.
- Opportunities to meet and connect with your group throughout the programme, sharing learnings and ideas.
- Ongoing support from your Programme Coordinator.
- Plus, it’s super rewarding and fun!
