Connect with motivated UNSW students and bring extra energy to your events and initiatives. We support community organisations, charities, and campus partners by providing reliable student volunteers for one-off and short-term opportunities.
Volunteers United is Arc’s short-term volunteering program, connecting over a thousand UNSW students with flexible opportunities to support community events, initiatives, and causes. We focus on one-off and low-commitment volunteering, making it easy for students to get involved and for partners to access support when they need it.
