Community

Vice President Community is here for a whole host of reasons.  If you want to develop your CV or simply make a difference then the Community Zone offers a vast array of varying volunteering opportunities; ranging from adults with learning difficulties to vulnerable older people, or adolesants to re-education and rehibilitation of inmates at HMP Wold.  And for the first year ever we will be offering international volunteering possibilities for all our members.  Or get involved in a society that interests you.  There are so many that the majority of tastes are catered for.  Can't find a society that you would enjoy?  Then why not start your own?!  None of this tickles your fancy,  then why not get your own show with Jam Radio, our very own Union radio station.  Or write for Hullfire and get your articles printed in our widely distributed student magazine.  The International Students Association offers endless possibilities for travel and cultural exchange, with students from over 100 countries participating in all events and social nights.

As well as student issues the Comunity Zone has been designed in order to represent student views within the local community.  The student population has such a large potential for good in the wider community that has never been explored before.  We're here to develop relationships with the local community, and we do this in a varitey of ways:

• by attending local Ward Forums to portray the student view and tackle problems between the local and student populations

• campaigns surrounding crime in order to lower the number of students and residents being the victims of crime

• getting involved in local and national events to improve community relationships and highlight Hull University Union's dedication to increased participation

• plus many, many more!

Most importantly, Vice President Community is here to ensure that all Hull University students have a fantastic experience with the Union and to try and instill a sense of community in the population as a whole.  The office door is always open so feel free to drop in for a chat.  Or a relax in the new Community Common Room, complete with sofa, mini-fridege and kettle!  The office and Community Common Room are situated on the first floor of the Union building in the Volunteering Hub.  Just wander in.
