Exeter University Student Volunteering Opportunities

Are there any maritime heritage groups in the Exeter area with a project that would benefit from the assistance of a maritime history student?

The University intends encouraging students to volunteer with projects run by outside organisations whose interests are related to the students' own studies. The projects do not have to be big but should fulfil a genuine need within the community.

The University can:-

• Help identify community partners.
  
• Design and deliver student volunteering training that is bespoke to the project.
  
• Comply with issues such as CRB checking.
  
• Help with evaluation of the project.
  
• Seek awards/ accreditation for the project.
  

• English – The Exeter Care Homes Reading Project which sends students into care homes to read to older people.
  
• Sports Psychology – Working with Exeter City Football Club Academy Teams to help young people who have talent in football but struggle with anger management or academic achievement etc.
