Build-your-own mini bagel station at St Lucia Campus (Student Central)

Join us for a fun-filled celebration where we'll be diving into creativity with mindfulness mandalas, indulging in delicious mini bagels, and most importantly, honouring the incredible contributions of our volunteers.

National Volunteer Week is our chance to shine the spotlight on the diverse passions and talents that make our volunteer community truly extraordinary. Whether you're passionate about environmental causes, community outreach, education, or anything in between, there's a place for you to thrive in the world of volunteering.

This year's theme, 'something for everyone,' reminds us that volunteering isn't one-size-fits-all – it's about finding the perfect fit for YOU. PLUS, there will be a ‘build-your-own bagel station’ where you can choose the perfect topping for your taste – there really is something for everyone!

So come on down and explore the myriad of opportunities available, build your own bagel, and find out about the roles that suit you and your skills and interests! Plus, there are plenty of opportunities for you to come along and find out how to boost your employability skills along the way!

So mark your calendars and join us for our National Volunteer Week 2024 celebrations! We look forward to seeing you there!

About National Volunteer Week 2024

Join us from 20 to 24 May for National Volunteer Week!

Here at UQ, we recognise the hundreds of students amongst us who participate in volunteering opportunities throughout the year, daily. This week is an opportunity for us to show our appreciation for their enormous contribution to our UQ community, and invites those students who are not already involved, to sign up to our Get Involved program, and explore the wide range of volunteering opportunities on offer (both within UQ and the broader community), as well as the long list of benefits that students gain from their volunteering.

The theme for National Volunteer Week 2024 is ‘Something for everyone’, encouraging others to explore the myriad of opportunities available, emphasising that there’s a place for everyone in the world of volunteering. Whether you’re drawn to environmental causes, community outreach, education, or beyond, there’s a place where your unique skills and interests can flourish.
