The Guidance & Employability Team (GET) at the University of Greenwich promote a wide range of opportunities for students to volunteer. The GET staff can help you to find a suitable volunteering opportunity and will provide information on how to get involved.
So what opportunities are there?
Local opportunities – The GET volunteering services has over 100 volunteering opportunities based in Greater London and Kent available in all areas of interest. To search our opportunities you need to login to GET Online [hyperlink to http://www.gre.prospects.ac.uk/casa/servlet/casa.jobseeker.JSVacServlet?mode=menu].
Community Challenges - One-off or short-term volunteering events, such as painting a mural, improving a room or garden, hosting a children’s party or organising a charity fundraising event. This is a great way to socialise and make new friends whilst having some fun and helping the local community.
GET Volunteering Grants- Have you ever wanted to manage your own community project or felt passionately about an issue but not had the required finances to do something about it? The GET Volunteering Grants scheme provides funding for volunteers from the University of Greenwich who are working in partnership with a charitable organisation, a School of Study or a student society to organise a volunteering project.

You can also e-mail volunteering@gre.ac.uk or contact a member of volunteering staff at one of the GET centres. Weekly student drop-in sessions for volunteering at each GET centre are detailed on the GET website at http://www.gre.ac.uk/students/get/drop-ins
