Welcome to the OU Students Association volunteer handbook!
I am Natalie Baker and as the President of the Students Association it is my absolute pleasure to welcome you onto your volunteer journey with us.
This handbook has been put together to help you navigate your volunteering experience and equip you with all the information and tools you need to be successful in whatever role you have chosen. We understand that it can be a lot of information to take in, so the handbook has been designed to be a reference tool that is always there to refresh and expand your knowledge base when needed. We also know our volunteers time is precious so we have included information about volunteer wellbeing, recognition and how you can utilise the training and skills you gain with us.
Volunteering is a great way to shape the future of the Association and the OU ensuring that we can continue to be the voice of students and keep true to our values and mission to make a positive difference for all OU students. Our volunteers truly are the heart of the Association and without your commitment and dedication we would not be able to do the work that we do so thank you!
I look forward to working with you and seeing all the important work you will be doing.
Best Wishes
Natalie Baker
