Are you interested in making a difference? Join us to find opportunities and meet organizations that do good!
Students and graduates increasingly feel the urge to make a positive impact throughout their studies and career. NGO’s (non governmental organisations), the charity sector and many more organizations provide opportunities in this direction for both interns and volunteers from various study backgrounds.
Finally, after all the COVID-19 measures, we are happy to announce that ‘Make a Difference’ will be taking place at van Swinderen Huys on 20 April 2022. The purpose of the event is to connect students of the University of Groningen with the invited organizations, which provide career and volunteer opportunities for students.
This event will be interactive and will consist of a plenary session with speakers from several organizations. After the plenary part, three simultaneous sessions will take place:
An information market for volunteer opportunities in Groningen and CV checks by University of Groningen Career Services
Speeddate sessions with selected NGO's to talk about working for NGO's and internship opportunities (application required)*
Q&A session with a professional (application required)*
