Multicultural Tauranga is a charitable, non-profit, non-political, non-religious community organisation and a registered charity. We are run by a committed group of volunteers who share the desire to promote and protect the interests of various groups which make up New Zealand's multicultural society.
We offer settlement support services and organise a number of multicultural community events.

Newcomers Network
Our most popular Wednesday coffee mornings start again on 23 January 2019 from 10:30 am to 12pm at our centre in the Historic Village. We meet weekly except on the 4th Wednesday of each month.
New: We are now also offering a free Wednesday Owl chat on the 4th Wednesday of each month. These meetings are for people who are working during the daytime so that they, too, can come to mix and mingle with us. The Owl chat will be from 6 to7pm at our centre starting on the 27 February 2019.
Both events do not require prior registration - just turn up for a chat and meet people from all over the world.
