Starting or returning to study in October? Then now is a great time to get out there and gain some new skills and experiences to add to your CV by volunteering. Volunteering is also a great way to get a taster of a job role or sector, make new contacts and friends, boost your confidence, and make a difference to something important to you. You might find opportunities closer to home than you think. OU student Richard started volunteering with the OU Students’ Association and hasn’t looked back since.
