Volunteer

Whether you volunteer on a board, or a committee, or give advice to graduating students at a career night, there are many ways to get involved as a volunteer.

 

Convocation

 

Convocation alumni volunteers are always welcome at U of G Convocation Ceremonies. It is an exciting time to share with students and will bring back many fond memories of your own time at the University. Review the details of what this opportunity entails and please visit the convocation website to view ceremony dates and time. To volunteer at convocations please send us an email with your name, degree and contact information.

Athletics Crowd

 

Athletics is always looking for alumni and friends to help with events, fundraising initiatives and provide feedback and guidance to ensure our programs and initiatives meet the needs of the University community. To find out more about Athletics volunteer opportunities please contact Sam Kosakowski.

 

CORE is a mentorship program for Black and racialized students at the University of Guelph. CORE pairs upper-year (second year and above) students with a Black or racialized professional, staff or faculty in an area of the student’s interest to support students with building meaningful connections, developing a strong social and professional network, and establishing a community on campus and in Guelph broadly.

University of Guelph Arboretum

 

The Arboretum Auxiliary is a group of enthusiastic individuals who volunteer their time and expertise to assist The Arboretum in meeting its Mission Statement. To achieve this, the Auxiliary is divided into a number of activity groups, each with their own particular area of responsibility within The Arboretum, working with staff members when appropriate. View current opportunities.

Honeybee Research Centre

 

Our work week is normally 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday. If you have at least a half day a week for at least one month between May and December you may apply for a volunteer position. You would be helping out with whatever work is required on the day(s) you are here. You may be directly involved with the bees or helping with other tasks. View current opportunities.

Ontario Agricultural College

 

The Guelph Centre for Urban Organic Farming (GCUOF) offers learning opportunities for volunteers throughout the growing season. Whatever your experience or interests, we can use your help! View current opportunities.
