Volunteers United connects UNSW students with volunteering opportunities, providing students with experience, community, and a chance to do good (and feel good)!
We partner with charities and not-for-profit organisations and make it easy for students to attain their volunteering goals by making accessible opportunities readily available! We have hundreds of diverse opportunities every term so come find something to fit your interests, complement your degree, or just fill that odd hour of free time in your week.
Cards with Care
'Cards with Care' is an initiative that gives students the opportunity to send messages of hope and support to members of our community who need it! This is held on-campus at The Quad every other week.
