Volunteer Opportunities

Interested in volunteering?

There are many reasons why people volunteer; the desire to help others, to make a difference, to strengthen your resume and to meet new people are just a few.

Whatever your reason for volunteering, here are a few places on campus with ongoing volunteer opportunities.

Alumni Relations

Our office occasionally requires volunteers to assist with one-time alumni events. If you cannot commit to a regular volunteer schedule, then this may be the opportunity for you. Please contact the Alumni Office at (403) 220-8500 or alumni@ucalgary.ca to add your name to our volunteer list and we will contact you as events come up.

Graduate Students' Association

The GSA is looking for alumni willing to work with students to learn business nuances and drivers, and hone the soft skills that will ultimately lead to their success in the working world. The time commitment is very manageable—a minimum of two face-to-face meetings, and then contact about once a month by phone and email. Help future alumni get started on the right track.

Native Centre

The Native Centre believes a quality education comprises more than just academics; therefore, it strives to provide culturally focused extra-curricular activities for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students. Check out their volunteer page for information on how to get involved with their programs.

Career Services offers a variety of volunteer opportunities to interested alumni ranging from resume reviewers to career fair volunteers to alumni panelists at Career U. Visit their volunteer page or contact Career Services at (403) 220-8020 for more information.
