Volunteer

Description

The Kemmy Business School, in partnership with the UL President’s Volunteer Award, are currently recruiting volunteer KBS Student Ambassadors. This exciting opportunity will allow Ambassadors to help with the marketing and promotion of the KBS, and the recruitment of prospective students, throughout the academic year 2025-26.

All hours volunteered will go towards the President’s Volunteer Award, for either the Bronze, Silver, or Gold Medal, and you will have until the end of April 2026 to accumulate hours. You can also combine the work you do with KBS with other volunteer efforts if you wish to do so.

You will have the freedom to select what initiatives you would like to be involved in, to suit your interests and availability, but we do ask that all Ambassadors participate in our Open Day events.

Ambassadors should be passionate about promoting KBS and UL student life, and be able to speak to their experiences of studying Business.
