Ready to get going? Whether you have 10 minutes or 10 hours to spare, there are lots of ways you can donate your time through volunteering. Here’s a quick overview of the ongoing volunteering roles you can get involved with, and how to apply.
Connect with current UCL students
Become an Alumni Mentor
Perfect if you want to hone your people skills, becoming an Alumni Mentor gives you experience in advising others about their career and helping them to take the next step.
Your main role is to provide informal guidance about your experience in different employment sectors and professions. Many mentors look over CVs and offer interview advice. You can share your professional experiences and personal insights with mentees, giving them a greater understanding of career journeys, professional opportunities and employer expectations.
Time commitment: 1-2 days per month

Connect with your alumni community
We're here to support our thriving alumni communities across the globe. But they wouldn't exist without the ongoing and invaluable support of our volunteers.
Organising a reunion
Reconnect with your classmates and share what you’re up to now by organising a reunion. Whether it’s your first get-together or your twentieth, our alumni team are here to support you – be it picking the right venue, advertising via email or social media, or just tips for making your reunion a success.

Telling us your story in a case study
We love to shout about your positive alumni experiences so completing a testimonial for UCL is a great way to volunteer without an ongoing commitment. Plus, it means we get to celebrate your story while you join our ever-growing list of brilliant volunteers. Just submit your alumni testimonial online and we’ll do the rest. Your answers will be securely stored, and don’t worry, you’ll always be contacted before they are used.
Time commitment: 1 hour

Hosting an event in your space or workplace
