Job description:

Make a World of Difference for Kiwi youth

You can improve the lives of the young New Zealanders and the Vodafone Foundation can help you do it.

The World of Difference programme pays the salary and expenses of six passionate people each year, so they can work with the youth-focused cause of their choice for a year.

Developed in 2002, this national capacity-building programme provides youth-related causes with an extra paid resource for 12 months, enabling organisations to start or complete projects, extend and improve services and up-skill staff and volunteers.

This year, the Vodafone Foundation is giving you more opportunities to help make a difference with the introduction of the World of Difference Ripple programme. This programme enables 25 passionate people to support one of the Vodafone Foundation’s youth charity partners for three months.

Applications for World of Difference and World of Difference Ripple open on Monday 26 July and close Friday 3 September and are open to all New Zealand residents aged over 18 years.

If you know any stars working in the NZ youth sector (or who should be) or if you know of any organisations who would benefit from capacity building, please forward this information to them.
