General donations
Personal donations and ongoing support are a major component in allowing our organisation to run the programmes we do and impact the lives of young people. You can sponsor some gear for a Tongariro trip, personally support one of our staff members, help fund an event, or just provide a general donation to help fulfil the current need.
You can do this by:
We are registered with the Charities Commission, so If you would like a tax receipt at the end of the financial year please make sure you email us to let us know your name and address details so that we can send you one.
We are always looking for enthusiastic people to volunteer. Join our team of volunteers! Opportunities range from helping out at one off events or coaching a sports team through to becoming involved in our regular programmes with young people. We also welcome volunteers who have skills in the office and can help to make Ignite run, or those with experience who may want to consider a position on our Board.
Every year we take on interns to help develop them in the area of youth development and leadership. This can be as a placement whilst studying youth development with organisations such as Praxis or Weltec, a gap year experience, or maybe something you just have a passion to learn more about or get involved in. Please contact us if you are interested. We also offer an internship programme through referrals from WINZ and Youth Inspire - see our Sport Plus page for more information on this programme.
Are you a past or present regional or national sports star? Do you want to help Ignite in either getting the word out about the work we do or would have time occasionally to come and share some of your stories at our events or programmes, or both? if so then we would love to get in contact with you. Just drop us an email here or give us a call.
Go to our main page to see who our current Ambassadors are and see more about why they support our work.
If you are keen to get the word out there of what Ignite is up to, feel free to like our Facebook page (external link) and share posts, sign up to receive our newsletter and share it around, or you can contact us if there are other opportunities you have in mind.
