Get involved in your Community

 

There are many opportunities to get involved with volunteering in the wider community and many of these can be found on the careers website. You can do something fun and that will develop your skills as well as helping your community.

Why not spend some time helping with events at the Whitworth Art Gallery or help out in their garden? You could also get involved with visitor engagement at the Manchester Museum or why not try breaking down barriers in Fallowfield as part of the Manchester Leadership Programme Fallowfield Foodshare project.

If you want to be involved in a project that is tailored towards your personal skills and interests and you think you have the ability to take a lead role, then a long-term project may be more what you’re looking for.

You can join an existing team or if you have a passion for something new you can start that too in a student-led team. If you have the desire to make a difference in your local community then contact the volunteering team.
