Welcome to all Volunteers at the University of Adelaide

The University of Adelaide actively encourages and promotes the culture of volunteering.

Volunteering provides an integral link between the university and the wider community.

The University stands for excellence and our volunteers feel pride in their involvement with us. We aim to create an environment that fosters and encourages volunteer satisfaction, including learning new skills, and making professional and social contacts. 

Volunteering adds to the richness of university life by involving a diverse range of people in a variety of activities.

Since 2003, when the Volunteer Program was formalised, the number of volunteers who contribute in many ways, across all campuses, has grown to around 1600. The Volunteer Committee which contributes to the success of this diverse program, is comprised of staff members who co-ordinate and support our volunteers.

Whether you are a former or current staff member, student or the public, we invite you to browse through the following pages whether you want to "Get Involved" or just want to know about another side of university life.

The Volunteer Program is coordinated and supported by the Office for Community Engagement.
