VSA was founded in Wellington in 1962, and is New Zealand’s largest and most experienced volunteer agency working in international development. Sir Edmund Hillary, VSA’s founding President, believed passionately that if people work together in equal partnership they can achieve great things.
Today VSA knows that we make the most difference through people, partnerships and the lasting relationships these create. Volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds, from business mentors and lawyers, to health professionals and eco-tourism operators.
VSA is a registered charity, if you would like to support our work you can donate to VSA here.
