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.
