What is Volunteering?

If you would like to get involved with the V-Team first you should decide what type of volunteering you would like to do. Are you looking for a regular commitment (once a week/fortnight) for a few hours, or are you interested in one off events that last a morning or a day? Of course there is nothing to stop you doing both!!

How to join

If you would like to get involved with the V-Team please email vteam@essex.ac.uk with either “regular”; “one off” or “both” in the subject line and we will contact you.

Regular Commitments

The V-Team has a number of projects which can offer you the chance to volunteer on a regular basis usually with a weekly commitment during term times. You should consider that these commitments will need to be honored throughout your academic year although most projects end in April until October.

One Off Events

Throughout the year the V-Team will hold a number of different one off events both on and off campus. These will be advertised on the website, the notice board (SU corridor) and at fairs/open days. In addition to this you can register your interest with the V-Team and be emailed direct in advance of each event. This list is cleared at the end of each term requiring that you re-register at the start of each academic year. One off events are open to all Staff, Students, SU staff and Local residents to take part in and will usually require you to commit to at least 2 hours volunteering at any given event in advance.
