Join our amazing team of alumni volunteers to help organise events across London, learn new skills, help others discover their potential and networking with fellow creatives.

Why volunteer with us?

Volunteering allows you to share your experience and support the UAL community, including current students and fellow alumni.

By getting involved, you will:

  • stay connected to UAL and its global creative network
  • make a genuine impact on student confidence and career development
  • boost your own skills, from communication to leadership
  • expand your professional and creative networks.

Volunteer opportunities are flexible and designed to fit around your schedule. Once you’ve registered your interest, we’ll contact you to discuss how much time you could give. Every contribution helps inspire the next generation of creatives.

Skills and training

If you’re matched with a student as part of a mentoring programme, we ask that you bring openness, honesty, and a positive approach to supporting them. All mentors receive full training, and we will tailor all other opportunities to match your skills and experience. If you need guidance, the Alumni team is always available to provide advice and support.

Next steps

Please register your interest by completing the Volunteering online form.

One of the team members will contact you as soon as a suitable opportunity comes up.

If you already volunteer with the Colleges

That’s great! If you volunteer directly with one of the Colleges or UAL courses, then get in touch so we can record your efforts and include you in UAL’s volunteer network.
