Volunteer program at Tauhara Centre

Tauhara Centre is a New Zealand  welcomes people from all walks of life and all ages to join them. People who wish to experience something different, a quieter, more spacious, natural environment, with the opportunity for reflective time using the library, a resource reflecting the many, different spiritual and philosophical pathways, and their Sanctuary, for quiet contemplation.

Food, accommodation and the work

Tauhara has comfortable accommodation in shared units or caravans for short term work exchange (2- 6 weeks), and typically has an average of 4 volunteers at any one time, rising to 6 or 8 at times of busiest garden activity in spring and autumn. Accommodation and meals are provided, and exchange volunteers work an average of 5.5 hours per day. The type of work varies: you may be assisting one of the cooks to prepare delicious meals, or helping with general housekeeping (cleaning) or gardening, wherever possible reflecting a balance between your interests and the needs of the Centre.

Volunteers are encouraged to stay for a minimum of two weeks, which is open for extension if mutually agreed upon. No experience necessary – open hearts and willing hands are especially welcome!

Taupo has a lot to offer, from bungee jumping to sky diving, kayaking to Maori carvings, to exploring thermal craters. In the winter, skiing and snowboarding are a relatively short drive away at some of New Zealand’s best loved slopes.
