Does your organisation have a sticky problem? To help you solve it, UTS matches you with highly skilled volunteers, picked from the best of our Business School alumni.

The UTS Board Volunteer Program provides social enterprises with:

  • 100+ hours of voluntary project work over 12 months
  • Cutting edge business expertise supported by voluntary UTS Business School mentors
  • A huge range of experience and skills

Your organisation receives 12 months of ‘fresh thinking’ from an MBA alumnus you select for the assigned task, backed up by a UTS Adjunct professor or a Business School mentor. In return, you provide the volunteer you choose with 12 months of non-voting experience on the Board of your organisation. We understand that opening up your Board to an external person exposes them to sensitive matters dealt by your organisation. That is why the UTS Board Volunteer Program covers your confidentiality needs by having ready-made confidentiality agreements for participants to sign.

Board Volunteer Development Program Structure

How does it work?

WHAT YOU DO

  • Define a project you want help with
  • Select a volunteer from our pool of MBA alumni
  • Induct the volunteer onto your Board
  • Get results

WHAT WE DO

  • Help define your project brief
  • Select a shortlist of mature, appropriately skilled volunteers for your choosing
  • Select a mentor to complement volunteer skills
  • Check on project progress and help drive better results

What the Volunteers Do

  • Sign a confidentiality agreement
  • Prepare for, and regularly attend Board meetings
  • Spend at least an extra 100 hours of voluntary work on the project you defined

Who will help you?

Ian Higgins
