Nau Mai, Haere Mai! Volunteer Your Team for our 2025 Kaumātua Olympics

Bring Your Team Spirit To The Kaumātua Olympics!
We’re inviting enthusiastic and community-minded volunteers from the corporate sector to be part of something truly special — the Kaumātua Olympics! This heartwarming and high-energy event celebrates our kaumātua (older persons 55 years+) through friendly competition, laughter, and movement. As a Team Support Volunteer, you'll play a vital role in helping our kaumātua teams (around 10 people per team) navigate a series of fun game stations and enjoy the day to the fullest!

What You'll Be Doing:

• Accompanying and guiding your assigned team through the event
• Making sure everyone stays together and is comfortable throughout the day
• Offering directions and mobility support (including assisting with wheelchairs, if needed)
• Building rapport with kaumātua and encouraging team spirit
• Helping with pack-down at the end — many hands make light work!

Why Volunteer?

Your presence and support will directly contribute to:

• Creating an unforgettable experience for our kaumātua.
• Promoting health, wellbeing, and inclusivity within our communities.

By taking part in this meaningful opportunity, your contribution will help support the achievement of several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including:

• Goal 3 – Good Health and Well-being,
• Goal 10 – Reduced Inequalities, and
• Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities.

This is more than just volunteering — it's a chance to give back, have fun, and build lasting connections across generations.

Come be a part of this unique, uplifting event — your team will thank you for it!
