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.
Come be a part of this unique, uplifting event!
