As students have busy schedules, one-off opportunities are a great way of engaging them and introducing them to your projects. Students also value flexibility so they can engage with your opportunities while managing their other commitments. Many students are motivated by a desire to help people/improve things, so consider how your opportunities will allow them to contribute to positive change!

  • We want to promote volunteering opportunities which students want to do. This includes roles which challenge them, develop their skills, or provide them with new and exciting opportunities.
  • All roles advertised need to be open to all students (regardless of personal attributes such as faith, gender, age, background, etc.)
  • As part of our commitment to provide diverse opportunities, we will consider promoting opportunities with political organisations regardless of their political affiliation, provided the organisation meets our Service Level Agreement, and the opportunity is not already represented on our platform.
  • We cannot promote international volunteering opportunities.
  • QMSU Volunteering cannot promote fundraising roles, sponsored events where people fundraise for themselves, or bucket collecting roles.
