The 麻豆传媒高清鈥檚 2025 Volunteering Expo brought community connection to the Ilam campus this week, as many not-for-profit organisations (NFPs) showcased ways for UC students and staff to make a positive difference.
Connecting with 艑tautahi and Waitaha
Organisations from across 艑tautahi Christchurch and Waitaha Canterbury shared a wide range of opportunities, from one-off projects to ongoing volunteer roles. Students gained the chance to build their CVs, develop transferable skills, and contribute to the UC Graduate Profile, while staff explored meaningful ways to support local initiatives.
A collaborative effort for positive impact听
The annual Expo is a partnership between UC Careers and Volunteering Canterbury. It reflects UC鈥檚 Strategic Vision 2020鈥2030, which emphasises community engagement and active citizenship, empowering students and staff to make a positive difference locally and globally.
Volunteering continues to be a valued part of the UC experience, offering students opportunities to grow beyond the classroom. The Expo allows not-for-profit organisations to connect with the next generation of volunteers, while students, including many international students, can integrate into the community and gain real-world experience.
