The Kāpiti Seniors Expo, Thrive!, brings older people from across the Kāpiti Coast together for a day of information, activities, and connection. Your mahi on the day helps everything run smoothly and helps visitors feel cared for and comfortable.
On the day you might:
● Welcome people as they arrive in the foyer
● Help with traffic flow in the main hall, so it's easy to get around

● Support health and safety in the hall, for example letting an organiser know if something needs attention
● If you hold a current first aid certificate, let us know when you sign up, this isn't required but it's helpful to know
