Recreate is a not-for-profit organisation that provides life changing experiences for people with disabilities aged 10 - 45 across New Zealand. They operate out of 7 regions, with their newest being Dunedin!
Recreate run group-based programmes that fall under social, recreational, adventure, and educational categories. This could look like a social Friday night getting dinner and going to the movies, an adventure day white water rafting, a fun weekend away in an Airbnb, or learning how to prepare for your first job.
Volunteers are a critical part of the organisation and provide support, expertise, and friendship to our community. As a volunteer at Recreate, your responsibility on our programmes will encompass a very broad range of tasks. In very general terms, they would like you to encourage the young people to try each activity, facilitate their success, encourage them to take responsibility for themselves and others, and to have a good time! The most important part of your role is to be a friend. They highly value your input and see you as a fellow co-leader in helping them deliver a successful and safe programme.
It is their aim to provide you with a safe, fulfilling and positive volunteering experience. A space where you can develop your people skills, learn more about diversity and disability, meet some incredible people, and of course have heaps of fun!
