YOUR Students' Union is run by students for students. Our vision for our members is to provide each student with opportunities to grow, develop and achieve, throughout life. We want to make sure these experiences are valuable: to you, alumni, employers, and society more broadly; and that they encourage more equal access to jobs, and to roles in civil society.
We offer you high quality, social action opportunities on campus, in Sunderland and beyond. Get involved to gain new experiences, confidence, connections and skills for life. Whatever opportunities you take, as a Students’ Union volunteer you can expect training and support from the SU team to help you achieve your goals. Take action and get involved!
As well as the rewarding feeling you'll get from helping someone else, you'll also add valuable experience to your CV, particularly your communication and people skills. Also, we’ll provide training and support to help you be amazing in your role.
There’s no special criteria, we’re looking for enthusiastic continuing students (You must have completed a minimum of 1 semester at University) who want to volunteer to help new students feel welcome and settled in those first months of arrival well as checking in throughout their first academic year.
Note: Students in any year of study can apply for a buddy to give them a little extra support when needed, so it might not necessarily be new students.
