Volunteer on the West Coast
From Karamea to Haast, we’re looking for more Coasters to join their local volunteer brigade.
We're casting the net Coast-wide
All communities on the West Coast are protected by volunteers showing up when there is an emergency or call for help. Every day, it’s locals like you pitching in to make a big difference.
Right now, we need to grow our team of dedicated Coasters coming together to protect the community.

Volunteering is an opportunity to join our dedicated teams of Coasters coming together to protect the community. You will learn new skills, meet new people, and give back to the community you call home.
