State of Volunteering Reports
These bi-annual reports measure and explain volunteering. Volunteering NZ uses the information to:
• Provide sector leadership, strategy advice, and reliable statistics
• Advocate for volunteering to decision-makers and government
• Provide training and resources for the sector.
In 2022 the state of volunteering in Aotearoa was reported to be generally healthy, however there were opportunities for more support for volunteers and volunteering.
