About us
The Student Volunteer Army (SVA) originated in Christchurch following the devastating earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. The SVA has since become a multi-faceted movement with a focus on enabling New Zealanders to give back to their communities. The University of Canterbury SVA focuses on mobilising students to assist in their community.
Whilst the Serve for NZ Campaign is focused on honouring the ANZAC spirit by encouraging New Zealanders to volunteer their time. The Primary Schools Program aims to instil the volunteer spirit in our youngest generation by enabling children to organise their own volunteer efforts.
