Volunteering Opportunities

Find out how you can get involved in supporting your University Community

An exciting opportunity has arisen for alumni to take part in the Students As Change Agents project.

 Students as Change Agents programme involves students, staff and external organisations coming together in small groups to solve real life problems. The objective is for students to gain experience in problem solving and pitching ideas, whilst working on challenges featuring at least three of the UN’s sustainable development goals. This is an innovative opportunity for members to come together with other alumni, former staff and students to offer coaching support and advice to participating students.

Recognising the diversity of our alumni community, we are keen to build the pool of coaches to include alumni as a valuable resource. General Council members wishing to take on a coaching role or to explore setting a challenge and becoming a partner are encouraged to contact the Project Manager, Al Lawley-Powell for more information sacha.project@ed.ac.uk.
