Why join EPA?
EPA encourages you to get involved through exciting volunteer opportunities within your local community and at the University. It adds value to your CV and boosts your employability status.
Boost your employability status!
Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills and gain valuable experience.
If you’ve come straight from high school to university and have limited work experience or you're changing careers, EPA demonstrates to potential employers that you are community-minded and have developed relevant skills.
Employers agree: Volunteering gives you an advantage in the job market.
Engage with likeminded people!
There are hundreds of EPA members so every time you join a community volunteering activity or help out at a uni event, you'll be meeting new and interesting people.
I volunteer because I am happy to help and relish each remarkable experience I get with volunteering. Buy experiences, not things. It is valuable to spend your time on helping others.
George Z. Liu, PhD Student
I volunteer because it’s a good way to spread positivity and be part of a good cause.
As a bonus you get to meet many amazing people and learn a variety of useful skills!
Nishtha Singh, Master in Business and Management
I volunteer for the diverse and incredible life experiences and skills that I wouldn’t get if it wasn’t for volunteering! I’m glad for EPA in encouraging me to stay active and engaged with the community.
