Get involved

Become a member

Membership is one of the best ways you can support the development of Canterbury Neighbourhood Centre and ensure access for everyone.

Membership assists with the day-to-day running costs and is essential to supporting a vibrant community. Annual membership is only $15 and offers a wide range of benefits.

Volunteer

Get to know your local neighbours, make new friends, and enrich your local community by becoming a volunteer with us.

Volunteers are at the heart of Canterbury Neighbourhood Centre and we welcome volunteers of all ages and abilities. You can volunteer to assist on a regular day, after hours or just ad hoc when you are available. We also can arrange volunteer opportunities for young people looking to engage in community service or work experience.

Suggested activities include:

  • helping our front counter and administration assistance

  • joining our Board to contribute to the Centre’s strategic vision

  • contributing ideas for 3126 magazine or joining our distribution walking team

  • assisting with events

  • coordinating a social group around your passion or hobby

  • suggesting a new course or activity

  • providing gardening/maintenance assistance

  • joining our IT help desk as a digital mentor
