Build a Summary of Service

You can log every piece of volunteering you do over the five years you’re at secondary school. We’ll track it, keep a record of it, order it by date and make it available to you whenever you need.

This is a free programme

We promise there will never be any cost to you. Your pins and your summary of service will always be provided to you free of charge.

volunteering is…

If you’re doing something to help other people and you’re not doing it to make money then that’s volunteering. Whether you’re putting out cones at sports events, organising the school ball, caring for a sick whanau member, washing dogs at the SPCA, planting trees or picking up plastic rubbish at the beach you’re making contribution to your community and that counts.
