New Zealand charities reject more volunteers due to record unemployment and high demand.
New Zealand charities are turning away growing numbers of volunteer applicants due to a surge in interest linked to a 5.3% unemployment rate in the September 2025 quarter, leaving 160,000 people jobless.
Many are volunteering to gain experience, build resumes, and stay connected, with organizations like the SPCA seeing a 32% rise in applications.
Despite high participation—53% of New Zealanders volunteered in March 2025—charities face capacity limits and rigorous application processes, including background checks, mirroring job hiring hurdles.
