You can request volunteers anytime! Students are keen to volunteer all year, however the best times to advertise are Feb–March, July–August or early December. 

If your opportunity is complex or needs a skilled team to complete, we will refer you to a more appropriate team.

Further support for your organisation

The SOUL Award program forms part of the UTS Centre for Social Justice & Inclusion. The centre partners with community organisations, government institutions, businesses and peak bodies to bring about a more sustainable, just and socially inclusive world. Some of our offerings include:
