Student Volunteering Week was established in 2001 by Volunteering England, and raises the national profile of student volunteering in Further and Higher Education. The theme for 2010 is ‘Inspiring futures; connecting communities’. During the week we will highlight the way in which volunteering plays a vital role in enhancing personal and professional development, and creates cohesion between different communities and sectors.

The objectives of Student Volunteering Week 2010 are:

• To raise the profile of student volunteering
• To demonstrate the benefits that volunteering has for: students,educational institutions,the wider community, business and recruiters
• To highlight the relationship between employability and volunteering

• To build partnerships and engage with key stakeholders, including universities, graduate recruiters and policy makers
• To encourage more people to volunteer
