Who are we and what are our goals?
Arc is your student organisation at UNSW. Our mission is to create the best student experience through Clubs, Sport, Volunteering, Events, Wellness, Help and heaps more. We are run by students, for students, and are 'that' mate at uni, who knows all about what's happening, where, when and why you should care.
Yellow Shirts is the longest running volunteer program at Arc! The program is about creating a welcoming and memorable first experience for students during the first week on campus: O-Week. From friendly volunteers and endless tips and tricks, to heaps of engaging events, the Yellow Shirts are there to make sure each student knows just how much university can give them. With a focus on building connection to campus and each other, these volunteers are vital in orienting students and setting them up for success.
The Organising Team, together with the Yellow Shirts Coordinator, organise and manage all aspects of the Yellow Shirts program from recruiting and training volunteers to organising and managing events during O-Week itself. Across their term, the Organising Team work with each other and Arc staff to manage their team of 200 strong volunteers and carry out their vision to better their portfolio and the program more holistically. Of all the Yellow Shirt volunteer positions, the Organising Team dedicate the most time and effort, gaining countless skills, invaluable experience, and have so much to be proud of by the conclusion of their role.
