Volunteering Expo 2025

The UC Volunteering Expo, run in collaboration with UC Careers, is your chance to discover and explore volunteering opportunities. 

Not-for-profit organisations from across Ōtautahi Christchurch and Waitaha Canterbury will be on campus for the afternoon, ready to connect with UC students and staff interested in volunteering. Whether you're looking for a one-off opportunity or something longer-term, come along and see what's out there.

The expo has been running for a number of years in partnership with Volunteering Canterbury, and continues to be a great way to discover new ways to contribute to the wider community.
