Volunteer: Wao Summit 2024

About

The Wao Summit is a five day event involving kōrero, masterclasses, tours and community festivals across Wānaka and Queenstown. The focus is on community action around resilience and regeneration, collaboration, better building, and climate action and biodiversity. Wao has multiple roles available for volunteers who are keen to help them in these efforts.

Whether you can help in one or many areas, they would love to hear from you.

Roles include ticketing, general event support, food and beverage service, and host duties.

All volunteers will receive training during an induction where you will get to meet other volunteers and be welcomed to the WAO team!
