Welcome to our Volunteer hub!
Sustainable HB, formerly known as the Environment Centre Hawke's Bay, is a registered charity and has been in the community for more than 30 years. Sustainable HB works across Napier, Hastings, Wairoa and Central Hawke's Bay. The key focus of the organisation is educating and supporting others to build resilient communities, environmental restoration, climate change adaption and mitigation, advocating for systems change and now climate disaster response.
Our volunteers play a huge role in helping us achieve these goals and are an integral part of the Sustainable HB team. Take a look around and if you see something that interests you, fill in an online application form.
We'd love to have you join us!
