Volunteering Opportunities

Volunteering is a fantastic way to make a difference, meet new people and get involved in your local community. 

Not sure how to start volunteering? The LSE Volunteer Centre is here to inspire and empower you to volunteer for causes that you are passionate about!

To get started:  

The Volunteer Centre holds an annual Volunteering Fair in October, and also has a variety of events going on throughout the year that you can get involved in, designed to fit your schedule.  

Email them at volunteer@lse.ac.uk if you have any questions about getting involved in volunteering.
