Volunteering in schools

 He rā pōuri tēnei - It’s a sad day

The Voluntarily Project is an initiative of the Pam Fergusson Charitable Trust. After ten years of robots and coding and all the exciting tech you can imagine, we are sad to announce that the trust is shutting our doors.😭🦄 Voluntarily is an open source project and anyone interested in continuing the mahi or using it for their own amazing idea will be able to find it on github.

We add smarts to your volunteering. Voluntarily is a matchmaking platform to connect awesomely skilled volunteers with schools who need a hand.

How it works

Volunteers are connected to work with a classroom or teacher on a project to learn to code, perform experiments, design and build things or learn what ever super power they have.
