Calling all Volunteers!

If you’ve volunteered with us before or are interested in joining us at future events, we invite you to register on our Volunteer Database. This Database will help us connect you to events happening in your region. Join the Database.

If you’d love to help out but can’t join a clean-up, did you know we also have a Professional Volunteer program? There is always administrative work to do and since Tangaroa Blue Foundation works nationwide we are always keen to involve more people that have expert skills – financial, legal, marketing, business, presenters, or coordinators. Note that these activities are volunteer positions only. Click here to find out more about this program. Once you fill in and submit the expression of interest form, and we’ll be in touch to let you know what we are currently working on and where we need assistance.

Thank you for your support!
