Volunteering comes in so many different forms and packages, if you are thinking about becoming a volunteer, you really are spoilt for choice! You can volunteer for a day at a one-off event - maybe just to test the waters, for a few hours a week as a break from study, or if those idle summer months are too much to bear, you can get your hands dirty and volunteer full-time.
You can access a myriad of opportunities through your student volunteering group, local agencies, or even by approaching an organisation you wish to work for directly.
Most organisations which involve volunteers offer training, so you don't have to have any skills to become a volunteer - just loads of enthusiasm!
Regional Student Networks
The Student Volunteering team is setting up a series of regional networks for student volunteers, and we want you to be part of it. The Student Volunteers Network is an opportunity for university volunteering groups to meet up and exchange project ideas, share best practice, and collaborate on joint projects.
If you want to work with volunteers from other universities to get ideas to make your projects bigger and better and set up new joint projects across whole regions, we want you to help build the network.
