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 want to join our team, we’d love to hear from you! Check out more information on how to volunteer, or email us at awny@aaanyc.org.

Community

Our friendly Community team focuses on fostering connection and engagement with and within our community through get-togethers such as our monthly Breakfast Club and Coffee Meet Ups, as well as our bi-annual Emotional Transitions support sessions.

Aussie Families in NYC

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 as 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 various activities.
