Do you have some free time in your holidays? Why not Volunteer?
Why not volunteer some of your free time for the greater good of our community? The University of Newcastle Career Service is always posting new opportunities for students and friends to get involved with. Not only are there internships available, but volunteering positions such as Lifeline, Ronald McDonald House and even tutoring positions are open for eager individuals.
There are also great initiatives such as Timebanking that many of the Universities staff and students are getting on board with. Timebanking allows members of the community to exchange services to earn credits for other services they may need. For example, if you are a good dog walker however, are horrible at cleaning, you can volunteer your time to walk someone’s dog and someone else can volunteer to clean for you.
Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community and looks very impressive on your resume. If you want to check out the opportunities available, visit the CareerHub. For more information on Timebanking click here.
