The Karori Community Centre is one of a network of 20 community centres situated throughout Wellington. 

 

The  purpose  statement  of the Karori Community Centre is "to assist in meeting  the needs of individuals and Community Groups in Karori, for social interaction and education, information and support, by providing staff, direction and facilities at low cost.  We will consult with the community and work in partnership with other community organisations".

 

Like all organisations, the Karori Community Centre needs money to operate and this funding is derived from a number of sources. The Wellington City Council owns and maintains the buildings from which the Centre operates while the Centre is run by a Voluntary Management Committee elected by the Community at the Annual General Meeting. The Management Group is responsible for Governance and Policy Issues and acts as the employer for the paid staff (consisting of the Community Coordinator, Venue Coordinator and Youth workers).

The Karori Community Centre hosts a number of special interest groups and has a range of facilities available for hire.
