Global Citizen (Volunteering)

International volunteering can be an exciting and rewarding way to develop your skills, experience different cultures, gain a deeper understanding of global issues, and contribute positively to communities and projects around the world. It can also help you build confidence, develop valuable transferable skills, and enhance your future employability.

Through the LJMU Global Opportunities Team, undergraduate students can apply for a £500 Global Citizen Bursary to help contribute towards eligible costs associated with an international volunteering opportunity undertaken with one of LJMU’s approved providers. Funding is limited and applications are competitive, with priority given to students from widening participation backgrounds.

You do not need to receive an LJMU bursary to take part in an international volunteering opportunity. Students are welcome to apply directly to LJMU’s approved providers and fund their participation independently if they wish to do so.

A global citizen is someone who is aware of and understands the wider world – and their place in it. They are a citizen of the world. They take an active role in their community and work with others to make our planet more peaceful, sustainable and fairer.
