Volunteering overseas

Volunteering for placement overseas is a rewarding and fulfilling experience. However, there are several important considerations to ensure you are well prepared and well protected for your placement and time away.

Insurance for Volunteers

All Rotarian volunteers are reminded that they need to take out adequate travel insurance once they book their overseas fare.

For full advice on this and other volunteering issues, contact RNZWCS Limited Administrator Stuart Batty as soon as volunteer assignments are determined.

"In everyone’s life, at some time,
our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame
by an encounter with another human being.
We should all be thankful for those people
who rekindle the inner Spirit."
- Albert Schweitzer

Rotary New Zealand World Community Service

otary New Zealand assists its partners in providing support to those living in poverty or affected by natural disasters. Our goal is to create sustainable outcomes in the form of a hand up rather than a handout.

Rotary New Zealand projects are managed by experienced people in both donor and recipient countries. Projects are professionally managed and administrative costs kept to a minimum. This means more of your money gets to where it’s needed most. Rotary reserves the right to levy 5% on donations as a contribution to New Zealand administrative costs. In the unlikely event that any ‘appeal’ funds received exceed our ability to spend them on a specific cause advertised, they will be redirected to another emergency response or development activity where the need is greatest. Thank you for making Rotary New Zealand your charity of choice for overseas aid. RNZWCS Limited is a registered charity - CC26860 and is listed within Schedule 32 of the Income Tax Act 2007 - recipient of charitable or other public benefit gifts - with overseas donee status.
