Student Development Programs
Volunteering is the best way to meet new people, learn great skills and get involved in the community! Each year, Arc runs heaps of activities, programs and events that you can join as a volunteer. Over 400 UNSW students get involved in our programs each year. Arc wants to give its members opportunities that help them to develop leadership, communication and creativity in fun and interesting environments. Training and Certificates of Participation are given to recognise the effort that each individual puts into the programs. Many of these programs are also acknowledged by UNSW on your ‘Secondary Testamur’ upon graduating. These attributes will put you ahead of the rest when applying for that graduate job!
