If you would like to awhi your community, CAB could be a great place for you to volunteer. As a CAB volunteer, you will have the chance to make a difference in people’s lives through your mahi aroha (voluntary work).

Working with us, you would get to be part of an organisation that not only empowers individuals and whānau through our service of advice and information, but that also empowers communities by advocating for fairer laws and policies based on what we learn from our clients.

So, if you love helping people and your wider community, volunteering with the CAB could be the place for you. CAB volunteers receive great training, gain valuable learning and experience through helping clients, and get to work alongside a diverse group of dedicated volunteers, making a positive impact together.
Hono mai! Come and be a part of the CAB where the community comes together in the spirit of awhi mai, awhi atu – the receiving and giving of support – and being empowered together.
