Volunteer on the School Volunteering Programme
The Careers Service are excited to offer students the opportunity to volunteer in either a primary or secondary school in Dundee and the surrounding area
Updated on 13 November 2025
Volunteering on the programme provides a fantastic opportunity to develop transferable skills, gain valuable work experience in a classroom setting, increase your network, enhance your CV and offer the chance to develop transferable employability skills.
To volunteer, you must:
- be matriculated for the academic year 2025/2026
- commit to 3-4 hours per week for around 30 hours in either Semester 1 or 2
- commit to attending an in-person information session prior to the allocation of placements
- provide three forms of ID for a PVG application for working with young people
- sign a School Volunteering Programme Agreement Form which lays out the expectations of students whilst on placement
The School Volunteering Programme for academic year 2025-26 is now closed.
