Volunteering at SBSU
Supporting your student community doesn't have to mean taking on a committee role or making a big commitment.
As a Community Volunteer, you choose how you get involved. Whether you have 30 minutes before an event, enjoy chatting to new people, or love creating social media content, there's a role for everyone.
Volunteer as much or as little as you like by picking the tasks that interest you.
