Raumati Volunteer Activation
We are looking for volunteers to help us take care of Mauao over the summer period!
This is our second year running this program, with over 50 volunteers participating last season. The program aims to provide an opportunity for our public to give back to Mauao, whilst also upholding an added layer of care for our maunga.
The mahi for this period is to inform and engage with our public, welcome visitors to the area, provide directions, share kōrero, monitor any misbehaving, assist Josh the Mauao Ranger, and to record any daily observations which will assist in developing a maramataka for Mauao. There may be opportunities to participate in other activities assisting our employed Kaitiaki.
We are looking for whānau who are cool, calm and collected - People who can manage confrontations (without losing the plot) and uphold the mana of our maunga. Therefore we may require character references.
The minimum age is 16 years, and we’d like to see a range of ages, mai rangatahi ki pakeke. While we have a minimum age for the kaitiaki role, of course you are most welcome to bring your tamariki.
All full-day kaitiaki will receive a tee-shirt, and there may be spot prizes for those who put extra effort in.

LOCATION - The Whare Kaitiaki, base of Mauao in campground, Waikōrire/Pilot Bay side. If capable, you may need to enter the maunga at times.
