Without this amazing contribution we wouldn't be able to open. Our volunteers are literally the lifeblood of the Village.

 

There are various roles available to volunteers. Most help out in the Shop and normally work on their own, opening/ closing the gallery and shop, dealing with any sales of artwork, and providing information to visitors. Shifts are either a full day - 10am - 4pm. 

 During the winter months, our hours change. This is an excellent opportunity to tackle some of the tasks that need attention around the village, and we could always use an extra pair of hands.

​

If helping out in the gallery shop is not for you we also have a variety of jobs that need attending to such as the gardens, painting, working bee's, We always have some task to attend to as we have 3 buildings to maintain, and a large garden space.

 

 Working in the Gallery you will get to meet all sorts of interesting people - artists, New Zealand and international visitors - even Prime Ministers!

​

​For six days volunteering per year, we offer a commission rate of 25%. This equates to 40 hours for non-desk jobs. We keep a tally of your volunteer hours over the financial year (April 1 – March 31). Child/Youth (up to 16 years) 10% commission. Young Adult (17 to 21 years) 15% commission.

 

If you would like to be part of our team, please contact our Finance Manager on 09 4290 570 or email volunteers@aoteaahv.nz. We would love you to be involved - whether it’s just a few hours here and there, a regular weekly day, or just when you are on island. We always need volunteers, as peoples’ lives are always changing. Some may move off island, or go on holiday, so why not come and join in?
