Student Volunteering Stories
Hear the experiences of volunteer team building activities! Applying their skills for good and connecting with like-minded colleagues, employees can support community organisations in need.
Prashanti Mishra, UNSW
International students want to be comfortable with our communication and networking skills. Volunteering really gave us an opportunity to talk to so many different people and get comfortable with speaking in another language.
Jai Bhayana, UNSW
The best way to start this year was my best volunteer experience ever! Every day was a fresh learning experience! I want to express my gratitude to everyone for making this programme so wonderful and worthwhile.
Thien Truong, WSU
Volunteering with the Michael Hughes Foundation, you get to meet so many wonderful people working in an amazing team. It's been such a lovely journey. It feels really nice to give back to the community.
Payal Shah, WSU
It was very rewarding. I felt like I had given back to the Community; I felt useful, especially because the purpose was so strong... I had a lot of fun, [and] I got a lot out of it. I had a fantastic time, such a good experience.
Sabrina Young, WSU
I really enjoyed volunteering! I'm able to help out my local community and develop those transferable skills that I can apply to my future career. I do recommend Communiteer highly because it allows you to connect with a lot of different community organisations all in one place.
Harrison Adkin, USYD
I'ts been a really good experience. All positive! The fact that Communiteer is a people first volunteering organisation has allowed the mindset to be a little bit different. And that has meant the interaction has been more genuine.
Arpana Saboo, MQU
It helped me understand how you can put together business and social causes. The passion they come with and the work they're doing is extremely heartwarming. It taught me that you need to keep at it. Even through COVID, you just need to stand strong.
Volunteering in the Community
Together with the City of Parramatta and Western Sydney University, Communiteer connected students with volunteering opportunities to develop their leadership skills, while creating a positive impact in the community.
International Student Experiences
Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, get familiar with the Australian social and workplace context, and develop stronger communication skills while in a supportive and safe environment.
Our Education Network
I trust Communiteer. We trust Communiteer will do the right thing to find and facilitate impactful opportunities that students can take up and experience because I can see the NFP sector having that trust in what you guys do.
