Be part of the University's vibrant and diverse volunteer community

The Adelaide University Volunteer Program consists of 70 structured groups of volunteers embedded within specific colleges, portfolios, or University initiatives. Each group is coordinated by a designated staff member responsible for overseeing volunteer activities and ensuring alignment with our strategic and operational goals. Volunteers can contribute to one or more of our strategic areas including Student Success & Experience, Teaching & Learning Enhancement, Research and Community Engagement.

We welcome people of all ages, cultures and abilities to participate as volunteers. Explore our volunteering opportunities to discover how you can get involved.
