During the change in COVID19 Alert Levels, the SVA continues to provide the best volunteering programmes for the youth of Aotearoa New Zealand – whilst also supporting our communities as best as we can. 

We are currently not offering bespoke or individual volunteering requests, however, we’ve compiled a list of people and organisations who might be able to support your request.
