“Joining things like Cuddle Buddies and the Coogee Beach Clean helped me meet new people who also care about making a difference.”
Volunteers United connects UNSW students with volunteering opportunities, providing students with experience, community, and a chance to give back and make an impact!
Why You’ll Love Volunteers United
Make a real impact: every event supports a community cause that genuinely needs your help.
-

-
Try new things: from baking for rescue dogs to beach clean-ups or crafting for kids in hospital.

Feel good while doing good: walk away from every event knowing you made someone’s day brighter.
-
Flexible and easy to join: volunteer whenever you can, no long-term commitment needed.
Volunteers United connects UNSW students to non-profit organisations to create positive social impact. By providing diverse and accessible opportunities, students are able to make an impact on things they are passionate about, develop their skills, and give back to the world around them. We have so many diverse opportunities each term so come find something to fit your interests, complement your degree, or just fill that odd hour of free time in your week.
Look through opportunities on our Discord or check out below for some current opportunities and get started today!
