The Newlands Resilience Group is a community-led initiative working to strengthen community and disaster resilience across Newlands, Paparangi, Woodridge and surrounding suburbs. Since 2019, we have conducted annual community surveys aligned with the Treasury Living Standards Framework to understand local wellbeing across economic, social, cultural, environmental and governance dimensions.

We are seeking a volunteer with Power BI expertise to help update and enhance our existing dashboards using the latest 2025 community survey results.

This work will support clearer communication of community insights and help inform local decision-making and resilience initiatives.

Your contribution will help translate community insights into meaningful visuals that support better decisions and stronger outcomes for local residents - particularly in areas such community resilience, disaster preparedness, and speaking with our voices into decision making.

What you'll gain

At Aotearoa Community Resilience Network (ACoRN) we are operating the Newlands Resilience Group to prepare, connect, and support our neighborhood so we can face any challenge.

Ideally we'd be able to use the main open plan space for events when we need to. Volunteer Wellington is looking to make better use of the space we have, and we need your help to manage and deliver the project.

Better design will also make the space more inviting and engaging, improving office culture and making those visiting us feel welcome. Make a difference for the thousands of volunteers and hundreds or not-for-profits in Wellington that we serve every day.
