The Village Square Trust is a community based not-for-profit organisation in Auckland. Our purpose is to build strong, connected and resilient communities by giving people places to meet, learn, create and grow. We have been bringing people together since 1982.

Our current services include community classes and activities; farmers’ and other markets; venue services; early childhood centres; after school programmes; healthy kids’ meals; sustainable gardening workshops and heritage/local walks.

We are a preferred supplier to Auckland Council. We employ 60-80 people (FTEs) and have average annual revenues of around $4m. Our Head Office in Parnell’s iconic Jubilee Building provides a base for our administration, financial and marketing expertise.

We began over 40 years ago in Parnell, now operate more widely across Auckland, and are poised for further expansion. Our mission is to use our experience and expertise to develop more ‘Village Squares’ by developing the heart in communities.

We are seeking two new Trustees for our Board. If you share our enthusiasm for building local communities, have expertise to help guide the Trust's growth over the next decade and would like to join us, please get in touch.

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who reflect the community we serve, especially the Auckland Asian community. The Board is also looking to strengthen its skills in early childhood, venue and facilities operations, and understanding of Te Ao Māori.
