Volunteering

Every year, our members volunteer their time in both the local community and within the institution itself. Students are engaged in a wide variety of projects, working with organisations such as Chiltern Rangers, the Wycombe Environment Centre and Hearing Dogs for the deaf.

There are lots of projects to get involved with and volunteering is extremely beneficial for students. We recognise volunteering through hours of 25, 50, 100 and 250 hours and students who reach these targets will recieve a certificate. Students who reach 100 and 250 hours will have their certificates signed by the Vice Chancellor and will have the chance to recieve a personal reference by the Volunteer Coordinator.

For more information and to get involved, contact volunteering@bucks.ac.uk

Volunteering has so many benefits including:

• Meeting new people
• Experiencing an industry you might consider for the future
• Learning new skills
• Developing existing skills
• Networking
• Becoming involved in something outside the realms of your degree
• Benefits to physical and mental health
• CV enhancement
• Gain experience
• Standing out from the crowd
• + many more

We offer short-term volunteering, one-off and adhoc opportunities, long-term volunteering and placement opportunities.

We recognise and reward our volunteers with certificates of achievements for 25, 50, 100 and 250 hours completed.

These certificates can be proof for employers in your future careers.
