"We welcome you into the Volunteering New Zealand whānau, to take your place alongside Aotearoa’s indispensable volunteer community.
This report reveals a celebration of the steps we took as we strived to achieve our key strategic focus: Lead/Arataki, recognise/whakamana and advocate/hāpai for volunteers and volunteering at a national level.
We adapted to the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and continued working as a team and collaboratively with the sector. We delivered research, advocacy, resources and provided sector support."

Leadership for Volunteering: The COVID-19 Experience
"Strong leadership helped the volunteer sector respond to the COVID-19 pandemic globally, and will help ensure something positive comes out of it, according to a new report by International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE).
The report examines how COVID-19 has impacted the strategic leadership role of national Volunteer Leadership Organisations (VLOs) in advocacy, development and volunteer mobilisation during 2020-21. Data was gathered from organisations in 67 countries across the world.
Ongoing change and unpredictability are likely to be the hallmarks of the future of volunteering. However, relationships formed at the local, regional and multinational levels will continue to be important. Volunteer Leading Organisations will be influential in their strategic leadership role."
