United Planet Volunteer In New Zealand 2025

Volunteers and paradise-seekers alike favor the natural playground that is New Zealand. With everything from extreme mountains to coastal farmlands, volunteers here are in love with the landscape of this amazing island country. Most of New Zealands population is of European descent, while the indigenous Maori are the largest minority group. New Zealanders describe their culture as relaxed and casual, but with a passion for social welfare. They depend on good weather for their exports, and because most of the country lies near the coast, plenty of sunshine, mild temperatures and moderate rainfall are usually in the forecast. As a volunteer in New Zealand, you will be hosted by ACVE, ICYEs New Zealander partner organization. Each year ACVE welcomes 50 volunteers from around the world to share their skills and experience life in New Zealand. PROJECT OPTIONS Children Volunteers will stay active at one of the Youth/Adventure Camps in need of facilitators. Engage young athletes and enthusiasts in canoeing, hiking, swimming in more.
