Volunteers
Our pool of volunteers at MCCSA make a huge contribution to the multicultural sector. Their dedication and diverse skills are just as crucial as our staff and board members in achieving our mission.
Our 100+ volunteers:
Range from teenagers to seniors
Come from various cultural backgrounds
Help with transport, community visits, and administration
Support key events like Harmony Day Picnic and SALA Festival
Assist in playgroups and active ageing art sessions
Gain valuable skills while giving back to the community
Volunteering with MCCSA offers valuable Australian workplace experience, boosting employability for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Without the generous assistance of our volunteers, we simply couldn’t deliver our services and programs.
