Did you know that 35% of New Zealand teenagers are below the standard level of literacy? Struggling with reading and writing can deeply affect confidence, job prospects, finances, and overall wellbeing — but together, we can change that.
We’re looking for passionate Community Ambassadors to spread the word about our free literacy services and connect people in need with life-changing support.
As a Community Ambassador, you will:
We believe 1 in 10 Kiwis struggles with literacy — your mission is to make sure they know we’re here to help.
What we offer you:

What we’re looking for:
✅ Passionate about making a difference in your community
✅ Friendly, approachable, and comfortable talking to people
✅ Good communication and relationship-building skills
✅ Reliable and able to follow through on commitments
✅ Comfortable working independently and managing your own time
✅ Basic computer or smartphone skills (to send monthly updates)
✅ Familiarity with your local community and networks (a plus, but not required)
No prior experience is needed — we provide full training and ongoing support.
All you need is enthusiasm, empathy, and a willingness to help people find the support they need.
