Maroochy Little Athletics would like to give a big shout out to all our Volunteers, not only during National Volunteer week but for every week throughout our season to the parents and grandparents that Volunteer on Friday nights and at carnivals that we attend. A big thank you to the committee members who volunteer their time for the next 12 months from the AGM in April each year. Our Centre is built on the foundations of volunteering and community so our children can have fun, make friends, get fit and learn new skills. 😃

Happy National Volunteer Week!

This week, we celebrate and thank the 9.5 million volunteers across Australia who give to communities every day.

Volunteers are the heart of Australian communities. They support people through challenges, create connection and belonging, strengthen local communities, and help essential services and organisations thrive.

2026 is a defining year for volunteering, and throughout National Volunteer Week, we are proud to celebrate the people and communities at the heart of it.

To every volunteer across Australia, thank you.

Let’s make 2026 Your Year to Volunteer.

Join the celebration this week and tag a volunteer in the comments to show your thanks.

We still have some medals to be collected. If you qualified for States in Brisbane in March but weren’t able to attend the Awards presentation please let us know! One of these medals could be yours!
