Our Team

Australian Women in New York is made possible thanks to our team of volunteers. We are a dynamic group of Aussie women who donate their time and skills to create vibrant events and resources for our community.

We’re always looking for extra support, so if you would like to join our team, we’d love to hear from you! Check out more information on how to volunteer, or drop us an email at awny@aaanyc.org.

Mums & Dads

Parenting in New York City throws up a new adventure every day. Our Mums & Dads volunteers offer a raft of welcoming activities such as coffee catch ups, parents’ nights out and family picnics in the park, as well some really helpful advice.

Philanthropy

Each year, AWNY supports charitable initiatives with fundraising and volunteering. In the past, our Philanthropy volunteers have partnered with The Dwelling Place on a range of activities.
