Student Volunteer Week 2020
✨ Today is the start of Student Volunteer Week 2020! 🎉
SVW2020 is all about celebrating and acknowledging the impact that student volunteers make. This week is also an opportunity to enable students to try volunteering!
Students, universities, schools and organisations all over New Zealand will be celebrating SVW2020 through a variety of events and festivities that celebrate our student volunteers and connect young people with opportunities to get involved in volunteering.
There are thousands of high-school and university students who connect, give and grow through volunteering. This contribution has a major impact on communities and causes, on both the national and international stage.
“Collective Impact: Give.Grow.Connect” is the theme of #SVW2020. Student volunteers give a hand and add real value to the community. Together they make a substantial impact on Aotearoa New Zealand. By giving to a community or cause, student volunteers grow and flourish. They gain knowledge and create change within their communities. Through volunteering, mahi aroha and social impact, student volunteers create their own social and professional networks. They connect with peers and people who share their same passion and interests.
For information on how to get involved with SVW2020 visit www.studentvolunteerweek.nz... or contact the Volunteer Marlborough office (call 03-577-9388 or email vm@volunteermarlborough.org.nz)
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
