The LSE Volunteer Centre is thrilled to announce that charity applications are now open for the Summer Volunteering Scheme 2023!

The Summer Volunteering Scheme’s purpose is to broaden access to volunteering opportunities for LSE students as well as further to promote inclusivity in the charity sector.  The scheme will be run by the LSE Volunteer Centre and Viki Chinn, an LSE Careers Consultant at LSE Careers, who specialises in the field of disability and employment.  Viki and the Volunteer Centre will support all of the students and the charities involved in the scheme throughout the summer.

If you are interested in participating in the scheme, please complete our charity application form.  For this, you will need to create a role advert for a new or existing volunteering opportunity that you wish to fill between 15 July and 20 September 2023.  All volunteering placements should be for individuals and will last for between 4 and 8 weeks (7-14 hours per week).  We’ll discuss the role with you, advertise it, recruit a student, brief you on adjustment requirements and be a port of call for you and the student for the scheme’s duration.

The deadline for applications is 12 April 2023.  However, we will be considering all applications on a rolling basis.  Your early application would be much appreciated to enable us to plan the most effectively as we tailor support to the scheme’s  participants.  We aim to create 15-20 student/charity partnerships.
