Become a volunteer while studying

Being an exchange student is the perfect time to try things out and find out what you like. As a volunteer at IDA, you can experience everything from:

  • Event planning

  • Speaker or professional sparring partner

  • Networking

  • Student politics

What these opportunities have in common is that you gain experience, relationships and skills that you can use both during your studies and in your working life.

What would you like to try out?

You don't need to know exactly what the different volunteer roles are called. Start with what you want to achieve or are interested in.
You choose whether you want to commit for a few hours or participate in a larger community over a longer period of time.
The most important thing is that you choose something that motivates you.

Being a volunteer means taking responsibility and at the same time develop your skills and try new things. I find it motivating to be able to contribute something positive and at the same time have fun with others who have the same interests and motivation as me.
