Step out of your comfort zone, become a volunteer
The university volunteering programmes are starting their campaign to
encourage the UAB community to become involved in university social action.
They are seeking people who want to step out of their comfort zone and play a
part in social transformation.

The Fundació Autònoma Solidària (FAS) has published the catalogue of university volunteering proposals for this 2023-2024 academic year. It includes a wide range of programmes with activities that are carried out in prisons, hospitals, schools, secondary schools, on the campus itself...These proposals cover the environment, promotion of health, equal opportunities, school success, the rights of migrants or refugees. There are programmes based on the mentoring and peer-to-peer methodologies, and participatory and awareness-raising workshops and activities.
Those interested must be available at least one morning or afternoon per week. It is also important to come feeling motivated about contributing towards changing the world and about meeting new people. The FAS volunteering area provides training related to the task carried out by the people who want to join the programmes. The volunteering activity is done in groups, always with guidance and follow-up in the day-to-day running of the activity. In addition, participation in a volunteering programme may mean you can opt for credits.
For more information and to show interest in signing up, simply fill out the form.
