Research by Kappelides and Johnson shows that volunteer managers need to have resources, time and support from management to manage their volunteers.
We recently surveyed volunteer managers and leaders from across Aotearoa New Zealand. We heard from over 177 people from across the country. Their survey responses provided information on the experience of those involved in managing and supporting volunteers.
In 2022/23 we worked with the sector to achieve a lot for volunteers and volunteering. This included a new campaign to recognise volunteers and new best practice guidelines.
We are pleased to present IAVE's 2022 Annual Impact Report. 2022 has been an exciting year for our organization with the return of the World Volunteer Conference, the publication of our global corporate volunteering research report, the continued growth of our leadership networks and much more. We invite you to read the report to learn more about our impact and our commitment to enabling the leaders, organizations and environments that empower volunteers.
*Māori are amongst the highest likely to volunteer yet their contributions are under-represented in volunteering research. This gap has been filled by this important work stemming from focus group and surveys of volunteers as part of the State of Volunteering research 2021-22.
Grouped around five themes, the report has recommendations for organisations engaging with Māori, and commitments for Volunteering New Zealand to advocate for support for Tūao Māori.
We'd love to hear from you
