    I'm hoping to volunteer one day a week for a community organisation in the next week or so. I've contacted a few so far and have got two front runners.

    The first one is trade aid.

    The next one is the NZ green party.
    http://www.greens.org.nz/

    I'm just looking for any opinions on which people think would be the best one to get into and reasons for and against either. Better yet if anyone is currently involved with these types of orgs. any feedback would be great.

    g'day

    don't work for the greens if you want to help a political party help socialist alliance (im not sure if you've got one in nz or not, we've got one in aus though)

    amnesty, greenpeace and oxfam(community aid abroad) are good ones too

    G'day mate.
    I'm involved with greepeace already.
    Thanks for the feedback, I think I'll give those two a miss and maybe look at the socialist party or something. It's a shame the leftist scene here is so fucked up.
    I spoke briefly to the greens but I think I'll give it a miss for now.
