The Cancer Society - International Volunteer Day with Mandy and Youth Volunteer Keita

In this episode of Cancer Korero, our host Kai chats with Mandy from the Cancer Society about International Volunteer Day, what it is, why it matters, and how volunteers keep the society thriving. Mandy explains the huge range of volunteer roles across the region, including drivers, office support, community advocates, bakers, gardeners, creators, and youth ambassadors. We’re also joined by Keita, head girl at Ōtaki College and a Cancer Society youth advocate. She shares how volunteering has built her confidence, connected her with the community, and given her a meaningful way to support cancer prevention. Together they explore the impact of young voices, the importance of authentic communication, the variety of roles available for different personalities and skills, and how anyone can get involved. If you’re curious about volunteering with the Cancer Society, supporting local events, or taking your first step into advocacy, this episode is your invitation.
