Volunteering Opportunities with Children’s University

Te Mātāpuna Mātātahi | Children’s University is looking for volunteers to help with our Campus Experience Days on 24 June, 26 June, and 4 September which will see over 750 tamariki come onto Campus and engage in a range of fun activities at UC. Volunteers will guide tamariki around campus and support them with a range of fun activities at UC.

Children’s University encourages 7 to 14 year olds to engage in exciting and innovative learning activities and experiences outside of the classroom. The aim of the programme is to support young people’s aspirations for higher education and encourage lifelong learning. This short video provides an overview of the programme – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjLsgnzbK0s&t
