New Zealand Red Cross (Rīpeka Whero Aotearoa) is a humanitarian organisation dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable people by mobilising the power of humanity. The Refugee Support Volunteer programme provides practical, friendly support to former refugee families as they settle into their new lives in Porirua.

This volunteer opportunity involves joining a small RSV team to assist a former refugee family with practical tasks as they settle in Porirua. The typical commitment is one to four hours per week, spread flexibly across the week, with a higher commitment expected during the family's initial three weeks. Comprehensive training and ongoing support are provided.

What you'll bring:
• Warmth, cultural curiosity, and genuine interest in people
• Flexibility to support the family across different days and tasks
• A current driver's licence and local knowledge of Porirua

You might be a great fit if you are:
• Warm, patient, and adaptable to changing needs
• Motivated by building genuine cross-cultural connections
• Reliable and eager to make a lasting difference

Training Provided: Comprehensive training and support provided by NZ Red Cross.
