“By creating we think, by living we learn” Patrick Geddes
If you've been at the Uni for a year or more and would like to become a Peer Connector, we would love to hear from you. We recruit undergraduates and postgraduates from all Colleges of the University.
There are lots of benefits to you. You will:
Your experience can also count towards the national Saltire Volunteer Award or the University's own Graduate Skills Award.
You can register to volunteer at any time during the year though recruitment usually begins in Semester 2 during Student Volunteer Week at the end of February.
Peer Connections also takes on new volunteers during Semester 1 who are involved in limited activities until they have done their induction and initial training.
You will be asked to come for an informal interview with the Peer Connections Co-ordinator.
Volunteers must give 2 references when they apply to join - a personal and an academic reference. This is to ensure that they are not putting their studies at risk and are able to take on the required role. The initial training sessions are also used to assess suitability for the role of Peer Connector.
