Connect with Otago student volunteers
Looking for students to support your organisation, event or community mahi?
UniCrew helps community organisations connect with University of Otago students who want to contribute their time, skills and energy in Ōtepoti Dunedin.
Through Priceless, our online hub for volunteering and community opportunities, we can help get your opportunity in front of students across the University.
What you can promote
Opportunities might include:
One-off events and working bees
Regular volunteering
Community programmes
Mentoring and buddy roles
Environmental projects
Governance or committee opportunities
Skilled or project-based volunteering
Student leadership opportunities
Students come from a huge range of disciplines, backgrounds and levels of experience, so don't assume an opportunity needs to look like traditional volunteering to be relevant.
How Priceless works
1. Tell us about your opportunity
Give us the key information students need, including what they'll be doing, where and when it happens, the time commitment, and who they'll be supporting.
2. We'll promote it through Priceless
We'll turn the information into a student-friendly listing and make it available to University of Otago students.
3. Interested students connect with you
Students can express their interest and your organisation takes it from there, including confirming suitability, induction and ongoing communication.
What we ask from community organisations
To help create a good experience for students and your organisation, you'll need to:
Have a clear contact person for volunteers
Provide accurate information about the role and time commitment
Have appropriate health and safety policies and processes in place
Provide any induction, training or supervision the role requires
Create a safe, respectful and welcoming environment
Let us know if the opportunity changes or is no longer availablePromote a role with us
