Get Involved

We work to make a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable locally and globally through our uniquely integrated approach to emergency response, community development, advocacy and education.

Caritas oversees the Catholic Volunteers Overseas (CVO) programme.

One World Partnership is our regular giving programme that enables you to join us in making an ongoing commitment to changing lives in poor and vulnerable communities around the world. 

The annual Lent Appeal is run on behalf of New Zealand’s Catholic Bishops. It is our most important appeal of the year, providing almost half of our public donations.

Want to join us in working for a world free of poverty and injustice? You can find current vacancies and volunteer opportunities here.

Caritas Gifts allow you to support Caritas’ work. When you buy a gift, making a donation on behalf of another, you help transform the lives of individuals, families and communities struggling to overcome poverty and injustice. 

Please have your order to Caritas by Friday 15 December to ensure you receive your gift card in time for use as a Christmas gift.

By including Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand in your will, you can leave a legacy of hope for those who need it most.
