Volunteer with us

Our volunteers are the heroes of Tairāwhiti Environment Centre. From gardening to electronics refurbishing to cleaning, the volunteers who generously give their time keep the garden fresh and the Hub ready for visitors.

Tairāwhiti Environment Centre is a registered charity, and our volunteers play a huge role in enabling us to provide our services to the community. Whether it’s a weekly visit or just a few hours a month, all volunteer time is valuable to us.

Some projects and services available for volunteering:

  • Gardening

  • General Hub maintenance

  • EcoShop and product services

  • Cleaning

  • Workshop delivery

  • Waste reduction & recycling services

  • Beach clean-ups

  • Community native plantings

Keen to make a difference? If you have skills or knowledge you think Tairāwhiti Environment Centre needs, reach out and let us know. We welcome both one-off volunteers and long-termers, even just a few hours of volunteer time makes the world of difference to an organisation like TEC.
