Student Volunteer Week, 1-7 April 2019, celebrates and recognises the contributions of students in our communities. Young people are stepping up and taking on some of the most important issues our world has ever seen.
#SVW2019 values and amplifies the voice of these students in the social change they are leading and contributing to.
The contributions of these young people in Aotearoa New Zealand are nothing short of heroic. During Student Volunteer Week we celebrate the amazing mahi of our Student Superheroes in all areas of volunteering, and work to grow and develop the student volunteer movement.
Kaitiakitanga, the guardianship of nature, is this year’s campaign theme. Student volunteers are at the forefront of key movements, such as advocating for the carbon neutral future needed to safeguard our planet. By celebrating Kaitiakitanga, we hope to raise awareness of environmental issues and celebrate the students working to ensure a healthy and livable planet for years to come.
Throughout Student Volunteer Week, universities and schools nationwide will host a variety of events to celebrate our student superheroes, and connect young people with opportunities to get involved in volunteering.
