Mandate:
Our mission is to give Memorial students a platform to promote volunteerism, to support students in their self-development, and to create a community of MUN volunteers. Aligning with Memorial’s Department of Student Life’s goal of empowering students to connect, engage, and belong and MUN Students’ Union’s goal to unite all undergraduate students, the SVB aims to become a household name within the Memorial and St. John’s communities while weaving volunteerism into the essential fabric of the MUN student experience.
Target Population:
MUN students, however, the website is an amazing resource for all ages looking for volunteer placements.
Highlight of Programs / Services Offered:
The Volunteer Incentive Program (VIP) was created to recognize and encourage student involvement in volunteer and leadership activities. Participants in the VIP will enter at the Bronze level, and ascend through Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The program is designed for volunteerism and self-awareness, as each participant progresses through their university careers.

VA’s also assist in the facilitation of the SVB’s programs and events such as the VIP,GIVE, the VIP awards, and MUN Volunteer Day.
