The Volunteering Service are looking for engineering students to run Project Impactive, one of our longstanding projects which designs and builds accessibility equipment for people with disabilities.
This academic year, your main duties will involve liaising with community organisations to develop partnerships so that the project can be re-established next academic year. You will be also be expected to run the project during the 2024-25 academic year.
This opportunity is being run through the Volunteering Service's Student-Led Volunteering Programme so you will be running the project as part of a team with other UCL students. You will be involved in decision-making for the project and will also receive support from the Volunteering Service including a dedicated Project Supervisor, Project Leader Training, access to our Project Leader Resources webpage and the opportunity to apply for up to £500 worth of funding for the project.
Working as part of a team, your duties will also include planning the project, recruiting and managing volunteers, liaising with staff from community organisations and the UCL Engineering department, and contributing ideas to the development of the project. Other duties will also include completing a project plan and risk assessment for the project, liaising with the Project Supervisor from the Volunteering Service, submitting Monthly Activity Reports and completing an evaluation of the project once it is completed
Time commitment
Project Impactive is a longstanding project but has not delivered any volunteering activity this academic year. You will be required to participate in planning of the project for the remainder of this academic year with the aim of re-establishing the project next academic year.
