Volunteering Team (The VTeam)

Volunteering can help you develop your CV to help you get the graduate job you want; make a difference to the local community; meet new people, build your confidence and give you an insight into different careers.

UWL Volunteering



Employers value volunteering - 82% are more likely to choose a candidate with volunteering experience and 85% will overlook other CV flaws when volunteer work is included (the 2016 Deloitte Impact Survey).

The V Team offers a number of flexible ways that you can get involved in. We can help you find a range of volunteering opportunities including one day challenges, external volunteer placements and project leader training. Contact the V Team to find out more.
