Meet-up Host
Well, aren't you the social butterfly! A cup of a tea and a chin wag would be an ideal weekend activity for you!
Did you know you could volunteer to host meet-ups with other OU students? Experienced volunteers and staff are on hand to help and your volunteer training will give you the tools you need to make your events a success.
Even if you aren't quite ready to take on hosting duties, why not check out what's happening near you and see if students are gathering nearby!
We recruit regularly for meet-up hosts so why not get in touch to find out when we will next be recruiting! oustudents-volunteer@open.ac.uk

Residential School Representative
Lucky for OU students, someone like you is on hand to make their Residential School all that more enjoyable! You are likely a bit of a quiz master who is always happy to help, you can identify a lost student form a mile away and would willingly support students with their OU hoodie and zoodie stash purchases all day long!
Residential schools happen all the time but the 'big ones' our volunteers help at are only once a year over the summer so don't miss out, apply to help out in Bath now!
Past volunteers have told us they had a great time and really enjoyed meeting other students, especially during the 'social' when the volunteers run a quiz and activities for other OU students!
Remember, we are always happy to answer questions! oustudents-volunteer@open.ac.uk

Central Committee Representative
Some may say you have a big mouth or a lot of opinions. Well, guess what?
We like big mouth students with lots of opinions because when it comes to the OU, if our students don't speak up, who will?
Now is the time to take on a role if you want to have an impact on how the university is run and get involved in committees that are making decisions about the future of online learning at the Open University!
This role is already full of students just like you, seeking to make a difference for their peers and so you will fit right in!
