Volunteers Sought for Ending HIV Big Gay Out and Auckland Pride Parade

The 2018 Auckland Pride season is fast approaching, and volunteers are in high demand for both the Ending HIV Big Gay Out and for the Auckland Pride Parade.

The New Zealand AIDS Foundation is seeking individuals who are keen to show that they are passionate about ending HIV in New Zealand, and would love your support by volunteering at the Ending HIV Big Gay Out and/or the Auckland Pride Parade.

Hoping to make 2018’s Big Gay Out and Auckland Pride Parade the biggest and most fabulous yet, say that they have a wide range of volunteer roles at the Big Gay Out, from collecting donations, handing out condoms, or being an “awesome assistant.”

Volunteers, who have backgrounds in PR or who are PR students, are also in high demand for the charity.
