The peer2pier volunteer scheme is a fresh opportunity for you to get directly involved in exciting student wellbeing campaigns, events and projects; in other words campaigns by students for students!
There will be a wide range of different campaigns throughout the terms to take part in, or even better, maybe you have an idea for a campaign you would like to run? We welcome all ideas so please email us and we will get straight back to you.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering is so much more than just standing around handing out flyers – with us you get a chance to be part of, form and steer the student wellbeing campaigns! More than that, you get the chance to meet lovely likeminded fellow volunteers, earn some CPD credits and add some great skills and experiences to your CV including project management skills, interpersonal skills, communication skills… well the list is endless!
