Volunteers from Diverse Backgrounds

People from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds can make an important contribution to volunteering in a tuckshop.

School communities have a diverse range of families who can all bring new perspectives and skills.

These resources have been designed in collaboration with the Healthy New Communities team at Metro South Health, to support schools in welcoming community members into the tuckshop.

Visit our Marketing Section for more resources on supporting families to use the tuckshop.
