Welcome to Edith Cowan University VolunteerHub

We are on the lookout for a team of enthusiastic students to help us do something great for the environment and give back to the community!

Alongside UWA, Curtin, Murdoch, Notre Dame and TAFE, this year ECU students will also join the Friends of Lake Claremont inter-university tree planting event transforming the former rubbish dump site into a native haven for animals each and every year!

Last year, more than 2,500 native trees were planted and we are hoping this year will be bigger than ever! This year the event will be held on Saturday 13 August from 9.30am to 1pm.

You will be provided with a t-shirt as well as gardening gloves on the day and lunch!

Find out how to apply here!

Are you a 2nd, 3rd or 4th year student who wants to help your peers and add skills to your resume at the same time? Sign up to be a mentor in ECU's Peer Mentoring Program in semester 2!

As a peer mentor, you will share your knowledge of uni life with a small group of new ECU students in your school or course, and provide them with friendly support and guidance.

Being a mentor to new ECU students is not only a rewarding experience and a fantastic way to give back to the ECU community - it also makes a great addition to your resume and adds to your employability skills.

Sign up now to become a mentor and attend one of our friendly and interactive Mentor Induction Workshops, which are taking place in July across all ECU campuses. EMBED LINK: http://intranet.ecu.edu.au/student/dates-and-events/events-view?event_id=0000000945

Any queries about the Peer Mentoring Program can be directed to careers@ecu.edu.au or (61 8) 6304 5899. For more information, visit http://www.ecu.edu.au/careers-and-leadership-services/mentoring.

We look forward to seeing you at the induction!

The Tokyo City University (TCU) volunteer program is back for Semester 2 and we are calling for mentors!

As part of an ongoing partnership with ECU, students from Tokyo City University will travel to Perth to complete a semester of study. To assist these students, we are looking for dedicated and reliable ECU students to act as buddies during their stay. If you enjoy meeting new people, and have an interest in Japanese culture this is a great opportunity for you!

Volunteering as a Buddy gives you the opportunity to make new friends, create inter-cultural networks, communicate across cultures, experience working in a team and gain vital employability skills which you can take with you when you graduate.

Based on the Mount Lawley campus, your main role will be to offer support, friendship and encouragement to up to six TCU students during their studies at ECU. You’ll also assist the students with orientation activities, engaging in organised social events, and providing insight into Australian cultures and customs.

To apply all you need is to have studied for at least one calendar year at ECU and have an interest in learning about new cultures and helping your peers. You don’t have to speak Japanese, but it is preferable to know some of the language and have an appreciation of the culture. The program will run from August 18 to December 22.

Applications close this Friday!

If you would like to be involved please email careers@ecu.edu.au
