It's with great pleasure University of Queensland announces their 8th annual UQ Volunteer Expo.

Info for students:

Many employers are looking for well-rounded graduates who have more on their resume than just study. Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community, meet new people, and develop transferrable workplace skills. It’s a win-win situation!

With over 40 charities and not-for-profit exhibitors attending, the UQ Volunteer Expo is the perfect event for you to find out more about volunteer organisations, available volunteering positions and the type of experience which might suit you best. This is your chance to speak with organisations such as Woodford Folk Festival, Conservation Volunteers Australia, Multicultural Development Association and the RSPCA just to name a few! There will be puppies and free fairy floss!

Come along to explore opportunities, get experience, improve your resume and develop your community spirit!

This is a free event and all UQ students and staff are welcome. Find out more at uq.edu.au/volunteer-expo

Info for nonprofits:

UQ welcomes Queensland nonprofits to register for this annual event to boost their volunteer numbers.The event is free for all Australian registered charities and not-for-profit organisations

The event is a really accessible way to reach the UQ student population. Last year the UQ Volunteer Expo attracted more than 1,500 students.

The expo represents an invaluable opportunity for organisations to recruit enthusiastic, skilled students for roles ranging from events volunteering through to specialist projects.

Exhibitors will benefit from engaging with passionate student volunteers who are energetic and want to help them achieve their mission and raise awareness of their cause.

The time exhibitors invest in attending the UQ Volunteer Expo is an investment in the diversity of their volunteer program that will offer long-term return.

It is vital to the community at large to build the next generation of volunteers and it’s a great day out that will help ensure the sustainability of your volunteer program.
