This Volunteer Week, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the amazing volunteers who make the work of the Manawatū Multicultural Council possible.

From helping at events, supporting newcomers, guiding community programmes, and lending a hand behind the scenes—you are the heart of our organisation.

A special shout-out to our incredible MMC Board members for their leadership and dedication, and to our volunteer teachers who generously share their time and knowledge with our community. Your contributions make a lasting impact.

Your time, kindness, and commitment help create a welcoming, inclusive Manawatū where everyone feels at home.

Here are just some of the wonderful faces behind our volunteer whānau—but there are many more who give their time and energy to support our mahi. We celebrate you all!

To all our MMC volunteers—thank you for the difference you make every single day. We see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you this week and always!
