► Volunteering

Bishop Grosseteste Students’ Union is in the process of providing students with some fantastic volunteering opportunities. Each year we invite local and national companies and groups to promote their volunteering opportunities, a date for this event will be confirmed soon.
As a Union we are keen to ensure our students are aware of the numerous volunteering opportunities the University and Lincolnshire has to offer. Volunteering not only hugely improves your CV and equips you with numerous skills, but it can also give you some fantastic experiences that you may not otherwise get to experience.
We are only just developing our volunteering links at BGSU, so at the moment we do not have a huge amount of information available. However, if you click on the links below you can find out some of the volunteering opportunities available in Lincolnshire…

Volunteering at Bishop Grosseteste
Student Ambassador Programme (STAMP)
This scheme aims to get the students of Bishop Grosseteste University College Lincoln involved in representing the University College at a variety of events.
What does the role of Student Ambassador involve?
The main role of the Ambassador is to represent the University College at a variety of events that will take place throughout the course of the year. You may be called upon to conduct tours of the campus, help out at open days, talk to prospective students and their parents, and also help represent the University College at HE fairs locally, regionally and nationally. There is also the opportunity to visit your former school or college and talk to pupils there about life as a student of Bishop Grosseteste University College Lincoln.

What do you get out of becoming a Student Ambassador?
This is a very rewarding role. You will have the opportunity to meet new people and gain new skills. Your communication and presenting skills will be put to the test and we can provide any training if you need it. You may get preference for BG employment. It's also something good to have on your CV: it is attractive to prospective employers if you've been involved with something outside of your studies, as part of this you will be rewarded with a certificate for your Personal Development File. Plus, not only will you be helping to raise the profile of the University College, you'll also raise your own profile on campus.
