Creating meaningful volunteering roles is one of our core goals.
Youth Volunteers Stepping up and making an Impact
All Heart NZ is committed to creating meaningful volunteering opportunities for young people in New Zealand. By providing these opportunities, the organization is able to not only support the community but also provide young people with valuable experiences that can help them in their future.
One of the ways All Heart NZ does this is by inviting young people from schools and colleges in New Zealand to come and volunteer at the organization’s retail store.
For example, the team at All Heart Store Albany was recently joined by a group of rangatahi (young people) from a college in South Auckland. These young people had the opportunity to get involved in the day-to-day operations of the store, including logistics, warehousing, retail, and deliveries.
By giving volunteers the opportunity to gain practical work experience and life skills, they can add to the academic learning they receive at school. This is an essential part of corporates thinking sustainably and positively impacting people and our planet.
They also learn important skills such as teamwork and customer service. These skills are highly valued by employers, and by having them on their resumes, young people can be more competitive in the job market.
Additionally, volunteering can help young people develop a sense of responsibility, self-confidence, and self-esteem, which are all important for success in their future endeavors.
All Heart NZ also provides educational and training opportunities for the young volunteers. They provide a positive learning environment that encourages young people to think critically and creatively about the world around them.
We provide information about sustainable and ethical ways of sourcing and disposing of corporate goods, which can help young people make better choices in the future.
All Heart NZ’s approach is innovative and holistic. They have an ‘out of the box’ approach to thinking sustainably and supporting communities.
They are a ‘one stop’ zero-waste sustainability solution to redirect, reduce and repurpose for all redundant corporate stuff. The organization’s theory of change is that by raising the sustainability standards and practices of the top 0.5% of businesses in New Zealand, they are changing the behavior of 60% of the workforce and indirectly influencing their families and friends.
We understands the importance of providing volunteers with valuable experiences that can help them in the future.
All Heart NZ also supports partner organizations to reduce poverty, increase access to education, and provide wellbeing services. They believe that improving the ways we both source and dispose of corporate goods can positively impact our planet and the quality of life of the people who help produce, reuse, and dispose of it.
In conclusion, All Heart NZ is an organization that is dedicated to creating sustainable, ethical and social aspects of procurement and supply chain management.
They are committed to providing meaningful volunteer opportunities for New Zealand’s youth. By providing hands-on experiences and educational opportunities, the organization is helping to create a more sustainable society and equipping young people with the skills they need to succeed in their future careers.
As we embark on a new financial year, All Heart NZ is poised at the threshold of a transformative period. Our leadership team, recognizing the pivotal moment, recently dedicated an entire day to strategic planning.
A couple of months have elapsed since an event that instilled an immense sense of pride and joy across the All Heart NZ team.
It’s with a spirit of celebration that All Heart NZ presents our first impact report of the year, a testament to the meaningful strides in sustainability and community enrichment we’ve achieved together.
