Get Involved

Walk with us

There are many ways to be part of our mahi. Whether you want to get your hands in the dirt, offer your skills, build a partnership, or provide financial support - we welcome your arohā and we will make it count.

Volunteer

Volunteering with WithIN Nature means being part of something real. You’ll work alongside rangatahi on active environmental restoration projects - planting, weeding, monitoring, and maintaining land across Northland.

You don’t need to be an expert. You need to be present, respectful, and willing to learn alongside the rangatahi you’ll be working with. The mahi is rewarding, sometimes muddy, and always meaningful.

What volunteers do

Assist on planting and land restoration days

Help with hands-on mahi, from planting native species to supporting whenua regeneration.

Support workshop facilitation alongside programme staff

Work alongside programme staff to help participants feel welcomed, supported, and involved.

Help with logistics, transport, and site preparation

Support transport, setup, pack-down, and the practical details that keep things moving.

Who can volunteer

We welcome volunteers who are 18 years and older and comfortable working outdoors and alongside young people. Volunteers working directly with rangatahi will be required to provide a current police vetting check prior to starting.

Time commitment

Volunteering opportunities range from a single planting day through to regular involvement across a programme season. We’ll match your availability to what is happening in the mahi and keep you informed about upcoming opportunities.
