Micro-Volunteering Day
Happy Micro-Volunteering Day!
Today is about acknowledging the power of small, meaningful mahi that create a big impact. Whether you have 5 minutes or an hour, there's always something you can do to support your community, spread kindness or make a difference.
You don't need to commit to anything long-term - just a little time, effort and aroha.
Here are just a few examples of micro-volunteering!
