Volunteer opportunities on campus

There are a number of valuable volunteer and leadership opportunities on campus all with the common theme of supporting other students. Each role can help to build your Federation University networks, be a positive influence amongst your University community and develop skills. Some positions are available all year round and others have specific application or nomination dates, so keep an eye out on Edge or contact a team directly for more information.
