Adelaide University

Student and staff volunteers helping at orientation
The Adelaide University Volunteer Program consists of 70 structured groups of volunteers embedded within specific colleges, portfolios, and University initiatives.
 
Each group is coordinated by a designated staff member who oversees volunteer activities and ensures they align with the University's strategic and operational goals. Volunteers can contribute their time, skills and experience across one or more of our key strategic areas:
 
Student Success & Experience
Volunteers play a pivotal role in enriching the student journey by providing mentoring, supporting wellbeing and academic integrity initiatives, and assisting students as they transition into university life. Their contributions help create a supportive, inclusive and connected campus community.
 
Teaching & Learning Enhancement
Volunteers contribute to the academic experience by providing feedback on course design, participating in curriculum consultations, and supporting educational innovation. Their insights help shape engaging and effective learning experiences for students.
 
Research
Volunteers support the advancement of knowledge through activities such as fieldwork, data collection and analysis. Their involvement helps researchers undertake meaningful studies and contributes to the University's research excellence.
 
Community Engagement
Volunteers strengthen the connection between the University and the wider community by supporting events, outreach programs, museums, alumni networks and public engagement activities. Their efforts help foster a vibrant and connected community.
 
We welcome people of all ages, cultures and abilities to participate as volunteers. Whether you are a student, staff member, Alumni, or a member of the wider community, there are many ways to get involved and make a meaningful contribution.
