⭐ Our Volunteers (aka Vollies) are the real backbone of our Mittagundi programs and vibrant community and we couldn't do it without them! THANK YOU!!

At our recent Melbourne Event it was so great to catch up with vollies T and Eadie, and Freddy, who just completed a program with us as a young person.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Vollies bring so much to Mittagundi - enthusiasm, knowledge, curiosity, muscles, creativity and their own unique voice. We say that Mittagundi is a place to grow and learn, creating a sense of community and belonging for all.

There's a lot of hard work and fun involved in a Mittagundi journey when you sign up to volunteer. Volunteering with us is a very dynamic and challenging experience but also incredibly rewarding. Often our vollies have been to Mittagundi as a young person and are looking for a way to connect and give back, or they're interested in a future career in outdoor education ... or they're just awesome people who are happy to muck-in and lend a hand and love what we stand for.

We have several available places for volunteers this year - if you are interested please complete an application form.

⬇️Application forms to volunteer are available on our website https://www.mittagundi.org.au/volunteer-at-mittagundi

** To apply you will need to be over the age of 18 years old, have a valid working with children check, ambulance cover and abide by our volunteer agreement and child safe code of conduct. Volunteers applications are reviewed by our Director.

'Making a Difference' was one of our themes of last Saturday's Melbourne event. We are very fortunate to have such a generous and supportive community, and we felt that strongly at our recent event.

During the evening, we spoke about the generosity of parents Lucy & Steve Gallyot. After their daughter attended a Mittagundi program, they helped arrange a new chainsaw and tools from B & J Crane Pty Ltd in Bairnsdale when they heard ours had broken.

It was also wonderful to welcome two of our long-time supporters: original Mittagundi Councillor Sandy Hancock and David Gibbs AM, a former council member and treasurer for more than 30 years. Thank you for your ongoing support and advocacy for Mittagundi - it means a great deal to us.

We were also so pleased to finally meet Mitty Williams from the Kimberley Foundation and her sister Susan and to thank her for her support and interest in what we do, in particular with offering technology-free programs for young people. The Kimberley Foundation is a Charitable Trust partnering with not-for-profit organisations working in the areas of Youth and the Environment and we are very grateful for their support of Mittagundi.

Thanks to our community of supporters, we can offer more young teenagers a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can help shape their values and future direction. Thank you. 🙏

🙌 🙏 We had SUCH a great time on Saturday night at our Melbourne Event! Thank you so much to everyone who turned up, and as Dave Evans said in his speech - "thanks for coming, thanks for being involved - you are part of something truly magical!"

"Mittagundi is one place that puts time aside - quite intentionally - for people to form connections. Connections with each other, connections with places and most certainly, connection with yourself and what's important to you" - Dave Evans

We have collected some beautiful photos and stories from the night and we thought we would share some of these with you, as part of our event's themes of connection, conversations and giving back. Here, in this photo we have Maddie and Chanelle from Very Special Kids (VSK) with our 2026 crew - Caitlin, Annie, Louie, Bella & Jarvis. Over the years at Mittagundi, we have been fortunate to have groups of young people experience the magic of Mittagundi through the Very Special Kids siblings support program.

This year Very Special Kids (with Maddie & Chanelle) will get to return for a unique Spring program with us. Very Special Kids provides holistic palliative care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and tailored support for their families – through life, death and bereavement. The Melbourne Event was a really nice opportunity to get to know Maddie and Chanelle and talk about how excited we are to welcome back VSK this year and all the good things we have planned! We can't wait!!! (we hope we didn't scare them off with the porridge video.....😂😉) We will also get to welcome back a volunteer on this program, who first came to Mittagundi through a VSK program - that really makes our day to hear how much they are loooking forward to returning and giving back!

🙌 We begged the boss to let us sell some last-minute $CASH tickets at the door for tomorrow's event.....and.....the answer is....YeeSSSSSSS!

So....if you're on the fence or tossing up plans for the weekend and you're in the Big Smoke (aka Naarm or Melbourne) tomorrow come and say hi, reconnect with the MG team or meet us for the first time.

Thinking about coming on a program this year or next? This is a great chance to meet us in person and ask questions.

The Melbourne event has been designed as a night to connect, share stories and hear from both the older and younger generations of Mittagundi. For our staff and Council, it is an opportunity to meet Mittagundi supporters who may not have the opportunity to travel to the farm and see the valuable work that we do. It is also a rare opportunity for our Director and Program Leaders to leave the farm, dress up in their city finery and enjoy meeting friends of Mittagundi.

On Council, we view this event like our annual bush dance and open day - as a highlight of our calendar to look forward to. It really is an event where the bush comes to the city and we get to celebrate with our friends and supporters all that is wonderful about this special place tucked away in the Glen Valley, in Victoria's High Country.
