Help Support Our Kangas: Volunteer Roles Available

Published Thu 08 Oct 2026

It takes a village to get more than 100 Kangas teams on court each season. This year we're asking more people to take on smaller jobs, so the load is shared and no one person has to do it all.

Most of the roles below take just a couple of hours a week, and many can be done from home in your own time. You don't need any special experience, just a willingness to help and be part of a great club community. If something catches your eye, click Express interest under the role or email secretary@nunawadingkangas.com.au for a no-pressure chat.
