Wellington, July 22 NZPA - A new website will help event organisers, including those for the Rugby World Cup 2011, find volunteers.
The website, VolunteerNet, was launched today. It is a free online volunteer recruitment management tool.
It was designed to help event organisers find volunteers and give people easy access to volunteering opportunities, Community and Voluntary Sector Minister Tariana Turia said.
"Volunteers are an important part of our community and the VolunteerNet website will enhance the capability of the events sector, making it easier for New Zealanders to get involved in volunteering and help promote volunteering in general," she said.
Economic Development Minister Gerry Brownlee said the World Cup would put volunteering in the spotlight.
