Our Partners 

The key focus of VolunteerNet is to connect event organisers with people seeking volunteering opportunities at events.  

VolunteerNet works with key stakeholders to ensure that we add value to both the events and voluntary sectors - and in doing so provide community benefits throughout New Zealand. 

In particular:

New Zealand Association of Event Professionals

The New Zealand Association of Event Professionals (NZAEP) is an incorporated society established in 2005 for the purpose of being the industry association for event professionals in New Zealand.  It was formed in response to industry demand for a recognised body to represent the burgeoning events industry in New Zealand.  The mission of the Association is to provide leadership for the industry through advocacy, education and accreditation.

NZAEP members who have successfully gained NZAEP accreditation are recognised as event professionals within the industry who are committed to ethical business practice.  Accredited members are easily recognised by the NZAEP Accredited Member logo.

Visit the NZAEP website to find out about its role, including information on how to join and membership benefits.
