Volunteering Canterbury is Canterbury's one-stop shop for everything to do with volunteering. With over 250 member organisations, it is Canterbury's leading agency for information, training, support, advocacy, and placement of volunteers.
It is governed by a Board with a minimum of 5 elected members and up to 4 Board appointed members representing Youth, Pacifica and Maori. This year sees the retirement from the Board of some long-standing members and the Board are therefore looking to gain new members keen to contribute to ensuring Volcan remains relevant to all sectors of the volunteering community.
Board meetings are held monthly (2 hours) and there is an expectation that members will attend all meetings. Additionally, there will be opportunity to contribute ideas, and advice through your area of expertise. Interested? We'd be keen to talk with you!
You will be helping Volunteering Canterbury's work to ensure that people and communities in our area prosper through volunteering.
Previous governance experience is not needed. The Board though are looking for people with medium to long term thinking and an ability to contribute ideas towards long term sustainability of Volcan.
A monthly meeting : times flexible to suit all Board members.
