Why volunteer?

Som frivillig ved Syddanske Studerende får du opbygget et stærkt netværk, som kan bruges både fagligt og socialt. Du får bekendtskaber, som rækker langt ud over dit studie, og du får mulighed for at udvikle dine kompetencer og få noget fedt på dit CV.
What makes us different?
Our unique opportunities
Semesterstartsfesten
It takes more than 100 volunteers to organize Denmark's biggest semester start party. That's why we're always looking for volunteers who want to get involved. We are looking for both enthusiasts who are passionate about event planning and are willing to put in long hours, and people who just want to help on the day of the event. This includes tasks such as bartending, communication, HR, custodianship, hosting, setting up the site, atmosphere, wardrobe and much more.
Social activities
As a volunteer in Syddanske Studerende you get access to several social events. Among other things, we have our very own internal Christmas party and an award show called SDS Awards, where we pay tribute to the students who have made an extraordinary impact over the past year. In addition, we have a summer party, we have general meetings followed by a reception for the incoming and outgoing board. In addition, as part of the organizing groups for Semesterstartsfesten and Institutdysten, you can look forward to great parties and events just for them and the participating volunteers. The team behind all these events are our volunteers, whether they are related to SSF, Insti, come through our political or association network or just want to be part of the association because it's fun. Therefore, you can also become a volunteer in SDS if you would like to help plan and participate in these internal events and make a difference for your fellow students at the University of Southern Denmark.
Political activities
We are always looking for volunteers who are interested in educational politics and who want to help fight for student rights both locally at SDU and nationally in collaboration with the National Union of Students in Denmark (DSF). Syddanske Studerende works with student politics in the study boards, academic council, university council, university board and municipally. At the national level, we participate in DSF's political conferences, where we discuss students' views on political issues such as SU, housing, education quality, internationalization, financing, study environment, climate and much more.
Tinderbox
Through our collaboration with Tinderbox, we help ensure that students can attend the festival for free in exchange for volunteering. Therefore, we are looking for volunteers for Tinderbox. We will open up in the spring for registration. Keep an eye on our website and Facebook page for more information.
Institutdysten
It also takes a lot of volunteers to plan, set up and execute Institutdysten. It takes an organizing group that takes care of rules, scoring system, atmosphere planning, agreements and communication. It takes managers from various departments. It takes volunteers to set up and be in the bars. It takes gamemasters and referees to keep track of and organize the various competitions. So there are many dedicated students behind the execution of Institutdysten.
Student Fair
At the start of each semester in September, we hold a study start fair called Student Fair. It is traditionally held at the small canteen (old Friday bar) at SDU. A lot of relevant organizations, SDU departments and local companies that want to reach out to students come here. So if you would like to change banks, join an association like SDU Ski Club or volunteer at the Friday bar, or if you just want a tote bag and some sweets, drop by the Student Fair. You can become a volunteer in Syddanske Studerende and help execute Student Fair and stand in our stand and tell other students about our work.
