Introducing Warwick Volunteers
Warwick Volunteers supports students from all departments at the University of Warwick to volunteer in the communities around campus and where they live. Utilising the skills, energy and enthusiasm of our volunteers, by having a positive impact on the social, educational & environmental wellbeing of our local, national and international communities, in particular in addressing disadvantage and exclusion in Coventry and Warwickshire.
Benefits to your students
Students benefit from volunteering through making friends, gaining skills and getting out into the communities that surround the University and getting to know local people and the area.
Volunteering is a key component of the NHS 5 steps to wellbeing, through connecting with other people, being physically active, learning new skills, giving to others, and being in the moment.
There is also an internal recognition programme that offers something at every level of study; undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research.
Browse opportunities
The Volunteering Portal exists to make it easy for student to connect with community partners. Registering interest allows for direct communication, and students can use the calendar to help fill their free time.
Key Facts
