"40% of students are so deeply affected by their volunteering that their career paths take a new direction"
"Student-led volunteering is empowering. It allows avenues to be explored or ideas to be initiated that might not be accessible through paid work"
"Volunteering builds employability skills such as leadership, problem solving, team working, initiative and self awareness. Virtually every paid job can be mirrored by a volunteering opportunity."
