Our Student-Led Volunteering Programme supports UCL students to set up and deliver community outreach projects in partnership with community organisations. These projects are run in partnership with local schools and community organisations.
We support a range of outreach projects which deliver services in the local community ranging from providing paediatric first aid for parents, running cheerleading clubs in schools, to developing bespoke accessibility equipment for people with disabilities. You can view our Student-Led Projects Directory for further details of the current community outreach projects that we are supporting.
Each Student-Led Project that we support has the opportunity to apply for funding, support from an advisor to help them with the development of their project and training to support them to develop and deliver their projects effectively. Also, all projects are risk assessed and all volunteers that will be working with children and young people must completed our safeguarding training before they volunteering commences.
This is a unique opportunity to provide your beneficiaries with new services as well as access to UCL students. All that we ask of our partner organisations is to provide a space for the activities to take place, to recruit the beneficiaries that will participate in the sessions and to provide a dedicated contact within your organisation that the Project Leaders can liaise with.
