Volunteering is a great way to have loads of fun, help maintain your wellbeing and meet new friends. And to top it off, volunteering will count towards your Stellify Award<\/a> as well as help you stand out from the crowd when looking for jobs!<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s loads of volunteering opportunities out there for you to try; from entertaining older people with music and cultural activities, to teaching children first aid skills, to getting green and grubby at local parks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"The University\u2019s Volunteering and Community Engagement Team works with hundreds of charities and not-for-profit organisations in and around Manchester, all offering you volunteering opportunities. These organisations advertise on Volunteer Hub<\/a>, so go and take a look and see what takes your fancy. There are loads of long term opportunities available to you on Volunteer Hub<\/a> if you are really keen to commit to something you\u2019re passionate about. Likewise, short term volunteering is also available, giving you the chance to try something out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"You\u2019ll also find a selection of Volunteer Days<\/a> on Volunteer Hub<\/a>. These allow you to dip in and out of volunteering as they only last a day or half a day. Taking part in a Volunteer Day, you\u2019ll volunteer alongside other students and you could be involved in bag packing for a local charity, painting a mural at a primary school or planting trees.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

“We also work with an array of international trusted partners<\/a> to ensure that if you choose to volunteer abroad, you are volunteering with a reputable organisation. In fact, the University\u2019s international volunteering flagship programme Team Rwanda will be launching soon \u2013 so watch this space!”<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
