Become a partner
Why become a partner?
Partnering with VSA is about more than supporting a cause—it's about contributing to transformational change. You’ll be part of a movement that uses skilled volunteering to build capacity, transfer knowledge, and strengthen local systems.
Mutual capacity building
VSA partnerships are built on reciprocity. Volunteers and partner organisations share knowledge and skills, strengthening both local systems and global understanding. Together, we build capabilities that last well beyond the placement.
Long-term impact
Our work is focused on sustainable outcomes. By embedding volunteers in community-led initiatives, we support solutions that address root causes and create lasting social, economic, and environmental change.
Shared values
We partner with organisations that prioritise equity, inclusion, and community leadership. These shared values form the foundation for meaningful collaboration and respectful engagement at every level.
Partner with us to create lasting impact
At VSA, our flexible partnership models offer meaningful opportunities for collaboration in Aotearoa New Zealand and across the wider Pacific region. In-country partnerships are at the heart of what we do, ensuring that all our international development and volunteering initiatives are grounded in local knowledge, relationships, and priorities.
We partner with businesses, regional organisations, tertiary institutions, and sector groups, so whether you're interested in corporate sponsorship, co-designing impactful projects, engaging staff through volunteering, or supporting our UniVol graduate programme there’s a tailored way for your organisation to get involved.
If your organisation is committed to sustainable development and cross-cultural collaboration, we’d love to hear from you. Contact us at partnerships@vsa.org.nz.
