Our Communities.

The Recruitment, Consulting & Staffing Association (RCSA) is the premier body for the recruitment industry across Australia and New Zealand.

All members of the RCSA are bound by their comprehensive “Code of Professional Conduct” that defines operational standards for members and is underpinned by detailed dispute resolution procedures. Younity are proud to be a member of the RCSA, with all of our staff committed to upholding the code of professional conduct and fully supporting their work.

Duffy Books in Homes is a charity that Younity actively supports. Duffy have been changing lives for the last 25 years, providing over 12 million books to kiwi children through partnerships with NZ businesses and lower decile schools. Their philosophy is that “It’s cool to read, and it’s cool to achieve!”, and they aim to provide books and a love of reading to kiwi kids who would not normally have that access or opportunity.

This is a cause that means a lot to us and forms a key part of our sustainability programme. We are committed to doing our bit to create meaningful outcomes for our communities, and Duffy Books in Homes provides a great way we can do this.

Younity is dedicated to sustainability in all its forms and passionate about ensuring that our unique environment is cared for. We want to keep playing our part in keeping New Zealand clean and green for generations to come. This commitment aligns with one of our core values – to give back to our community – creating a better place for us all.

We’ve partnered with Sustainable Coastlines, with both our Auckland and Wellington teams participating in the Litter Intelligence programme. We do this when we have our beach clean-up days (four times a year), taking significant time out of the office to contribute to the fight against rubbish and waste on our beaches and waterways.

At Younity we want to make a difference to our next generation. Our kids are in crisis and the need for mental health support is at an all time high. This is why we are a proud supporter of Gumboot Friday, which gives young Kiwis, our precious rangatahi, free and fast access to qualified counselling.

This service relies on the continued generosity of many New Zealanders and does a mammoth job to help our kids get access to free and professional mental health support. Every year we support Gumboot Friday with funding and we want to urge others to please join this cause. Every little bit helps.

Get involved: There are several ways to donate!

At Younity we believe in meaningful, positive experiences underlined by giving back, making a real impact, and doing it in a sustainable way. There are so many worthy charities out there that we could support, and as a company we focus our charity and sponsorship budget on causes that help build our community, grow our future tech talent, and help us look after our planet.

We also want to give our team the opportunity to support charities that they are passionate about and this is why we partner with The Good Registry to give our staff charity gift cards over Christmas.

With the Good Registry our team can personalise their giving and support causes they are passionate about, and it ties in with our sustainable giving ethos.

The Auckland City Mission has supported people in need from all walks of life for 100 years and is one of the city’s most influential social service providers. None of their clients’ stories are the same and the people who come to the Mission for help come for many different reasons.

Some are isolated elderly, others are rough sleepers or people living in cars and inappropriate housing. Others are battling addictions, living with mental health issues, or struggling to feed their families over a period of unexpected crisis.

Younity is proud to be a supporter of the Auckland City Mission donating time and money to help those less fortunate in our community.

Younity is a long time sponsor of Code Camp Wellington, an event where Wellington’s finest new coding talent and some of New Zealand’s best technical speakers come together for a day of learning, sharing, networking and technical growth. This is a volunteer led technical “unconference” organised for the benefit of the local technology community with something for everyone, from the latest technologies to career development and everything in between.

Younity are delighted to continue our ongoing partnership with this great event in 2020 and invest in the next generation of developers. Our help keeps this event completely free of charge for the benefit of the wider community.

In 2023 Younity started to partner with Digital Future Aotearoa to sponsor six of their Code Clubs in priority areas across New Zealand, reaching more than 140 kids each week, teaching them to code. Code Clubs offer free learning sessions to kids aged 9-13, where volunteers teach tamariki coding skills, web development, and robotics (to name a few) in a fun and engaging way. The Clubs are either run from a local library or a school, with volunteers from the tech sector giving up one hour a week to help kids learn to code.

At Younity we work to make a difference to our IT industry, and our next generation. There are lots of ways to get involved or support this important mahi – get in touch and help us to make a difference to the future of New Zealand.
