Volunteer Service Abroad

VSA enriches New Zealand society through the cross-cultural exchanges it creates and the new knowledge that returns with its volunteers. We offer both long (12 months and over) and short-term assignments and currently work in Melanesia, Polynesia and Timor-Leste. We also work with New Zealand and regional partners to provide innovative volunteering opportunities, making it possible for more New Zealanders to volunteer and contribute to lasting change. VSA is a registered charity and is non-religious, non-political and non-governmental. VSA needs ongoing financial support to continue to send Kiwi volunteers to share their skills with communities in our region. VSA is supported by the New Zealand Aid Programme, together with private and corporate donations. We believe we can make a positive difference in the world when volunteers, partner organisations and communities work together, sharing skills and knowledge. This approach leads to improved quality of life, and helps build self-determining communities and stable nations. Children at the Centre
