Volunteering

Volunteering is an activity undertaken by an individual for an organisation for no financial reward and not for the purposes of obtaining credit in a unit of study or course.

Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community, however doing volunteer work can offer you more than just the satisfaction of lending a helping hand to local organisations. Volunteering is actually a fantastic way to grow and build your employability skills while you are studying.

The career benefits of volunteering include:

  • broadening your networks and meeting new people
  • demonstrating community awareness
  • development of interpersonal skills and leadership abilities
  • increasing employability and candidate attractiveness

The ECU Student Guild has a variety of positions available from working on sporting programs to delivering a range of on-campus events. Volunteering WA has some great volunteering programs to get you started too.

After volunteering your time towards our volunteer opportunities, you may be eligible to receive a certificate of participation, which you can add to your professional portfolio.
