About us
About VC UW
The Volunteer Centre of the University of Warsaw is the first unit of its kind in the country.
Our recipe for volunteering?
- Openness
- Creativity
- Commitment
- Growth and building social capital
Since 2013, we've been developing competencies, promoting values and ethical attitudes, and integrating the University of Warsaw's academic community through volunteer activities, training, and social programs and projects.
Activities
VC UW volunteers take part in and co-create a wide range of initiatives, covering areas such as education, intercultural communication, social engagement, civic responsibility, anti-discrimination, and animal welfare.
VC UW is also a space for relaxation, creative activities, exchanging inspiration, and building relationships.
Our volunteer base continues to grow and includes Polish and international students, PhD students, active and retired staff members, as well as University of Warsaw graduates.
