Community Participation in Cuprona
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Community involvement in Cuprona remains strong, though the types of unpaid work vary. More than a third of residents provide unpaid childcare, a figure that is far above the state and national levels. This high level of family care is balanced by a community where volunteering and military service are also more common than in most other areas.
