Future Auckland Leaders Graduation on 8 November
Twenty five inspiring Aucklanders graduated from the Committee for Auckland’s Future Leaders Programme at a ceremony at the Auckland Museum on November 8th with four inspiring ‘legacy projects’ which will enhance the city. Every two years, Future Auckland Leaders unveil their projects to the broader Committee for Auckland membership. The four legacy projects for 2011 are: 90 DegreeVert, Waterfront Walk, Playing in the Streets and Auckland Virtual Volunteering.
Three of these legacy projects are focused on showcasing Auckland as a tourism asset for residents and visitors alike. The transformation of existing buildings and streets is well aligned with the Auckland Council’s Central City Master Plan which includes the greening of Auckland and encouraging more pedestrian areas in the inner city.

Virtual Volunteering engages online volunteers to assist not-for-profit groups and organisations by way of completing skills-based tasks or objective-based assignments, using their particular expertise at a time and location that suits them.To read the Virtual Voluteering story in The Aucklander click here.
