Volunteers

We need you!
You can become a Pride Centre volunteer and help us with your skills and knowledge. The Pride Centre is in need of your input, whether it is one hour a week or one afternoon a year.

We need people to staff the front desk during the hours the drop-in centre operates; to give people information on the gay scene in Auckland and New Zealand; helping the co-ordinator with various tasks (such as organising the Library); special projects can be arranged to suit you and your needs. When we have special events (such as Coming OUT Day), you can help plan and realise these worthwhile community events and learn valuable skills.

You can make a real difference in the Auckland Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender Community. Your experience and skills may be just what we need. Give us a call or send us an email message.
