Volunteer

A huge shout-out to the Sustainable South Canterbury Trustees, who are all volunteers too! 💚

The Eco Centre relies on a fantastic team of volunteers who contribute in many different ways. Whether you enjoy working with people, sharing your knowledge, getting your hands dirty, or helping behind the scenes, there may be a role for you.

We’re always looking for volunteers to help:

🌿 Our monthly Repair Cafe – repairers or hosts (don’t have to be available every month)

🌿 Guest speakers for our Eco Talks or workshops 

🌿 Help care for our gardens, and outdoor learning spaces

🌿 Create a display for the Eco Centre which is changed every 3 months. This can be designed at home! 

🌿 Cleaning of the Eco Centre 

We’re particularly interested in hearing from people with skills or experience in:

🔨 Repairs, maintenance, building, electronics, appliances, and practical trades
🌱 Gardening, native plants, and food growing
🧵 Upcycling, sewing, mending, and creative reuse
💻 Digital skills, photography, video, and computing
📚 Education and facilitation💰 Fundraising, sponsorship, governance, and finance

We also love learning from our community. If you have a skill, hobby, or sustainability topic you’d like to share through a workshop or course, we’d love to hear from you.

Keen to get involved? Get in touch and let’s find a volunteer opportunity that suits your interests, skills, and availability. 💚
