Exeter Student Volunteers

Aim

Exeter Student Volunteers (ESV) aims to provide student led volunteering opportunities to meet the needs of our community. Building relationships between students and locals through empowering, inclusive and sustainable projects. 

2021/22 Objectives

1. Get all of our projects running again this year. 

2. Facilitate opportunities to engage both the student and local Exeter community. 

3. To be inclusive by creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

How to sign up!

1. Register your interest in a project(s) here: https://www.exeterguild.org/activities/community-volunteering/projects/

2. First Steps Training - All volunteers must go through this to start volunteering with us. This covers safeguarding to protect both yourself and the vulnerable people we come in contact with. First Steps Training takes place online and can be completed at your own pace. Following this, it is necessary you pass the quiz in order to start volunteering.

Note: If you have previously attended a First Steps Training, you will need to do it again online. 

3. DBS - Some of our projects work closely with vulnerable people in the population. So it is necessary to have a DBS check. More information on how this will practically work is coming soon! 

Projects which require a DBS: smART Club, Music Makers, Summer Adventures, Mentoring for Success, Global Touch, Teddy Bear Hospital and Action After Stroke.
