Intercultural work and volunteering

Working or volunteering in an intercultural setting can provide a great opportunity for you to meet people from the local community, develop language skills and gain new experiences.

Please note, because of the ongoing situation surrounding Coronavirus (COVID-19), the activities we offer may be different to usual. We are currently planning for the next academic year, and we will update these pages regularly with information about activities on offer and how we can support you to make the most of your time at Leeds..

Intercultural Ambassadors

The University of Leeds Intercultural Ambassadors Programme is a prestigious volunteering opportunity for current Leeds home and international undergraduates, taught postgraduates, postgraduate researchers, and exchange students who will be in Leeds for both semesters.

International Welcome Team

Each year we recruit current students to support new international students arriving in Leeds. The positions have a varied workload with start dates during the summer and in September.

Writing back

Writing Back is an award-winning pen pal project which pairs students with older residents across Yorkshire to help tackle loneliness and social isolation.
