Volunteering is an unpaid activity with a charity or not-for-profit organisation that makes a difference to the wider community. It involves doing something that improves the environment or helps members of that community.
Volunteering is a great way to enhance your University experience. As well as being fun, it can:
- Give you a great sense of achievement
- Help you develop essential skills that employers look for e.g. project management, communication and teamwork skills
- Give you the opportunity to meet new people
- Give you the chance to make a difference in the community
