Volunteering looks great on your resume, so why not help out your club where you can and give yourself a sense of achievement and pride.
You can volunteer for the committee. Some roles can provide experience, i.e publications officer if you are interested in getting into journalism or publishing.
You can go on one of the volunteer trips, such as tree planting on Motiuhe Island or helping out at "Ark in the Park". If you want someone to sign something saying that you have done this one of the committee members should be happy to oblige if you ask nicely.
Volunteer work - helping out the Bird Sanctuary of the Waitakeres
Regularly check our website for when this event occurs and check out http://www.arkinthepark.org.nz/ for more details.
Typically you meet at the ARC Rangers’ workshop behind the Rangers’ house, Cascades Kauri Park. Parking is available at the golf course workshop 50m before reaching the Ranger’s house.
Volunteers can help with various activities, eg. bait laying, stoat trap checking, weed removal and monitoring tunnel checking.
In the process you gain the opportunity to see the biggest stand of Kauri in the Waitakere ranges and rare native birds.
