Volunteer Story Celebration 2025 - Kāpiti US Marines Trust

Kāpiti US Marines Trust has been running for over 10 years quietly in the background collecting and keeping the history of the relationship between Kapiti Coast residents and the US marines who were stationed here in WW2 alive. They have created three main memorials and annually run a Memorial Day in Queen Elizabeth Park.

What makes this team of volunteers special?

There is only 6 on this team but they have achieved so much in the years they have been together. The team runs well together and do so giving many hours of time to this Trust. Some have been near burn out but still they have stayed on the team , developed ways of overcoming this and carried on.
