Our national committees are run by people who understand the culture of their country or territory, and the communities that surround them.
Many of these people are volunteers, from new starters to experienced decision makers. Whether you’re a UWC alum wanting to assist your local national committee, the parent of a current or former UWC student wanting to help the people who supported your child for two years, or you simply know UWC and are keen to contribute – get in touch.
You’re welcome to volunteer with a UWC national committee in your current home country, with one that previously selected you, or with one that is close to your heart.
It takes many people – with a range of skills – to make a great school work.
Our schools are always open to hearing from volunteers, whether you’re a parent or community member looking to help out, or a student or graduate looking to develop.
UWC alumni and other community members can contribute in a variety of ways. Opportunities vary, from supporting the Communications and Marketing teams, to volunteering in the Admissions offices and more, depending on available vacancies as well as your skills and interests.
To learn about volunteer opportunities, contact your local UWC school.
You can also play a role in guiding UWC’s global activities by volunteering at UWC International.
UWC International has offices in London and Berlin, and we love hearing from people who want to assist us and gain valuable work experience.
