Community

Newa Guthi Victoria brings families, elders, young people, volunteers and friends together to keep Newa culture active, visible and welcoming in Victoria.

What community means

A place to belong, celebrate and carry culture forward.

NGV creates spaces where Newa identity can be shared across generations through festivals, rituals, language, food, music, volunteering and everyday friendship.

Our community work is shaped by members and volunteers who give time, care and knowledge so children, families and newcomers can feel connected to culture and to each other.

Community life

How Newa Guthi Victoria supports the community

Festivals and rituals

We gather for Newa celebrations, puja, food, music and shared traditions that keep heritage visible in Victoria.

Families and youth

Children and young people are welcomed into cultural learning, volunteering, performance and leadership opportunities.

Volunteering and care

Members support events, programs and practical community needs through steady volunteering and mutual care.

Partnerships

We work alongside Nepalese and multicultural organisations to strengthen connection, representation and community wellbeing.

Community

Newa Guthi Victoria is built around people: families, elders, young people, volunteers, artists, organisers and friends who want Newa culture to remain visible and shared in Victoria.

Our community work creates welcoming spaces where people can meet, learn, celebrate and contribute. Whether someone has grown up deeply connected to Newa traditions or is reconnecting with culture in a new way, there is a place for them here.

How we support community life

  • Welcoming new families and members into the community
  • Creating opportunities for youth participation and volunteering
  • Supporting elders and intergenerational connection
  • Sharing community announcements, festivals and cultural activities
  • Helping volunteers contribute their skills with confidence

As this website grows, this page will include community resources, volunteer opportunities, member stories and practical information for families who want to stay connected.

There is a place for every member, family and friend.
