Trustee

We are seeking 2 passionate and dedicated Trustees to join our Board.

Our Trust Board is made up of people who are dedicated to community empowerment through our mission of connecting and supporting communities to reduce waste in Tāmaki and Maungakiekie areas of Tāmaki Makaurau.

Initially a grassroots organisation, the Charitable Trust was formed in 2017 and has been leading waste reduction action projects, community events and environmental education over Glen Innes, Panmure, Onehunga and Oranga connecting and networking with similar organisations across South and East Auckland.

This is a voluntary role with a time commitment of around 4-6 hours per month. Board meetings are held monthly either in person or online. 

The ideal candidate will have:

• Ensuring the organisation operates within its mission and values

• Helping set the direction of the organisation and measuring performance

This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on meeting national and council goals to be zero waste by 2040 and reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2050, gain leadership and governance experience, and network with like-minded individuals.
