Help promote Guild Volunteering to students and join us for fundraisers, sausage sizzles and volunteering excursions! Our student volunteer Activations & Events coordinator will organise and promote volunteering opportunities during O-Week and throughout semester.

Join the team and go on a trip in the van to Mount Claremont Bakery! Then head back to the Guild to assist with the sorting of bread donations. This program aims to minimise food waste and provide lower socio-economic students with delicious bread.

Two sessions are run each week during semester, on Tuesdays and/or Wednesdays.

Curious about Perth’s native flora and fauna? Help our Conservation Coordinators support community groups in preserving the ongoing health of our local bushland.

On the first Saturday of every month, our Conservation Coordinators guide students from Oak Lawn to join the Swan Estuary Reserve Action Group (SERAG) at Matilda Bay. This is an opportunity to learn about invasive plant species and how to help maintain the eco systems along the Swan River Estuary. Depending on the season, volunteers help with weeding, digging trenches or planting. Spots are limited, so make sure you sign up!

Our Conservation Coordinators will choose another conservation partner to visit each month. This may involve meeting them at Hackett Café to catch public transport or meeting at Guild Volunteering to travel in the Guild van. These groups operate either weekly or monthly, and you are free to sign up and make your own way there. This includes Friends of Wireless Hill, Friends of Mosman Park, Hollywood Reserve Action Group, Cottesloe Coastcare, Friends of Lake Claremont and Trillion Trees.

This program aims to promote sustainable consumption, reuse, and community engagement by creating opportunities for UWA students to get involved in op shop events and support the work of local community organisations.

On campus op shops are hosted between two to four times per year with opportunities for students to volunteer to help the program coordinator facilitate set-up, running the shop and packing down.

There is also an excursion to help set up the Bindaring Clothing Sale at Claremont Showgrounds in May.

Come learn useful gardening skills and tend to our amazing community garden at the UWA Student Guild. Help plant, cultivate and harvest fruits, veggies and flowers. Weed and water whilst meeting new friends!

Guild Gardens is a student-led program that aims to promote environmental sustainability within the UWA community. It does so by creating inclusive, accessible, and hands-on gardening opportunities for students on campus.

Sessions run fortnightly on a Monday during semester with extra sessions posted depending on the needs of the garden.

The Lead Up Project is a collaboration between Association of Services to Torture and Trauma Survivors (ASeTTS) and UWA Guild Volunteering. It is a youth leadership program, involving arts, crafts and public speaking to support youth from trauma backgrounds to feel empowered to explore their identity and communicate their story.

The program runs from January and ends in June with a graduation ceremony for the participants. Volunteer recruitment is orchestrated by two student volunteer coordinators, with up to six volunteers recruited in December to January to support the facilitation of the program.

PROSH is an annual satirical newspaper written by students at the University of Western Australia to raise funds for charity. Since its humble beginnings in 1931, it has grown to become UWA’s most iconic student tradition, and one of WA’s biggest single-day charity events, having raised over 2 million dollars to date. The big day occurs in March, early in Semester 1 each year, with many fun events occurring in the lead up to both write the paper and promote a fun and inclusive campus culture.

Annually, a student committee is formed to orchestrate Relay for Life at UWA. It is a fun and moving experience that raises vital funds for the Cancer Council’s research, prevention, and support services.
