The LSE Volunteer Centre is here to inspire and empower you to volunteer for causes that you are passionate about during your time at LSE. Volunteering is a great way to help develop personal and professional skills, meet new people and make a difference in your community. We are committed to making volunteering exciting and accessible, and we collaborate with students to enhance their volunteering experiences.
Information and Advice
We offer a range of ways to get involved from the start of your LSE journey, including connecting students with long-term and short-term volunteering with our hundreds of charity partners and one-off opportunities throughout term on campus. We begin each term with a Volunteering Fair, where we invite over 50 charity partners onto campus to speak directly with students. We also host a charity on campus weekly for Charity Tuesday, to spread awareness of their mission and volunteering opportunities. At any point of the year, students have access to our ongoing volunteering vacancy board, updated daily with opportunities from charity partners, or book a meeting with our Volunteer Centre Manager for one-to-one support.
Volunteering Programmes
The Volunteer Centre also runs multiple exciting voluntary programmes, including the consultancy with the Community Engagement Programme, the Research Volunteering Scheme, an initiative for volunteer researchers, and Student-Led Projects, an opportunity to develop your own volunteering project. These programmes offer students the chance to work with other students, collaborate directly with charities, and use their degree knowledge with the mentorship and support of the Volunteer Centre. These programmes are application-based, and information is available on how to apply during Autumn Term.
