Volunteers provide invaluable help in our Bargain Basement and Drop-In Lounge. We are always looking for new volunteers and we would love you to be part of our team.

The Raglan Community House Commitment
Each and every volunteer has the right:

1. To be treated as a co-worker, not just free help.
2. To a suitable responsibility – with consideration for personal preference, temperament and life experience.
3. To know as much about the organisation as possible – it’s policies, people and it’s programmes.
4. To continue training on the job – as a follow up to initial training.
5. To sound guidance and direction – by someone who is experienced, well informed, thoughtful and considerate.
6. To be heard, to feel free to make suggestions and to have respect shown for honest opinion.
7. To be recognised – as a person who is making a valuable contribution to the RCH and our clients.

The Volunteer’s Commitment
Believing that the Raglan Community House has a real need of my services as a volunteer worker:

1. I will be punctual and conscientious in carrying out my duties and accept supervision graciously.
2. I will conduct myself with dignity, courtesy and consideration.
3. I will consider as confidential all information regarding clients and their families.
4. I will take any problems, criticisms and/or suggestions to the Coordinator or the staff liaison member of the Committee.
5. I will not do anything for a client without his/her knowledge or consent.
6. I will not push my viewpoint to make converts to my particular religious belief or creed.

Volunteering is a great way to contribute positively to your community.  If you have time to spare or skills you would like to share give our Coordinator a call on 825 8142.  All Volunteers must consent to a Police Check.  Click here for an Information Booklet or Application form or Police Check form.
