Volunteer

You can make a positive difference in our communities. Let us know about your skills, interests and availability.

Volunteers help with all areas of our work, supporting children, young people, whānau and communities facing tough times. At Skylight, we can’t do what we do without the support of volunteers.

Should you, or a group you’re part of, want to volunteer as a regular thing, a one-off, or somewhere in between we’d love to hear from you.

Let us know what event you’re going to do and ask about how we could support you.
