Citizens Advice Bureau Porirua - Volunteer Interviewer training
Do you want to make a difference in people's lives?
Do you like getting to the "bottom of things"?
Volunteer Interviewer Training commencing soon
We are currently organising our next Volunteer Interviewer Training and are looking in our community for people who are interested in supporting their "neighbours" with accessing information to ensure that they are fully equipped to deal with their everyday lives and challenges.
If you are able to attend six half day training sessions that will review our kaupapa and equip you with the ability to engage with our clients, we would love to mentor you to becoming a qualified CAB Interviewer. Your minimum on-going commitment is one shift per week (generally 2.5 hours) on a day to suit you. You will also be able to participate in monthly training on a wide range of issues.
We have a great team of volunteers currently all of whom bring with them a wide range of skills and experience. Are you able to add your skills to our pool? We would be very interested in speaking with you!
We are required to complete Police Checks on all applicants prior to training.
If you are interested please contact Alison McNab, Manager, Citizens Advice Bureau on 04 237 8846 or email manager.porirua@cab.nz
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
