Stay active

Without all the active volunteers that everyday does a huge job in the local students’ councils, in the different board of studies, in Retshjælpen (The Students’ Council group for legal advice), in the students magazine Delfinen and in The Students’ Councils many committees, campaigns and aevents, The Students’ Council would cease to exist.

Being a volunteer in the Student Council is first and foremost about creating the best possible conditions for ourselves and each other as students, but you also get a strong network, good acquaintances and valuable experience in planning, communication and teamwork in a large organization.

Student policy

At Student Council, we are always looking for new volunteers. If you want to improve the teaching and study environment conditions for students at Aarhus University, or fight against cuts in the SU, you can join our political committee. You can also run for the Student Council Executive Committee, which is the day-to-day management of the Student Council and is responsible for organizing and planning the political work, as well as being responsible for the Student Council Secretariat. Contact the Student Council President at formand@sr.au.dk or your local student council for more information.

If you’re more into local work, you can also get involved in your local trade council. All subject councils deal with the study conditions of individual subjects, but many also organize lectures and other academic events.

Writer

If you’re not a student politician but a writer, you can also become a volunteer writer for the Student Council’s student magazine Delfinen. The Dolphin writes broadly about topics that affect students. You can always contact the dolphin at delfinen@sr.au.dk for more information.

Volunteer for events

Every year, the Student Council organizes the Student Fair and Denmark’s Biggest Friday Bar and Sports Day. We need a lot of volunteers for practical work, bar sales, organization and planning. As a volunteer, you’ll gain a valuable network across AU, and the work is also full of fun and games. In the Student Council, we believe that it should be cool to be a volunteer and that volunteers should have responsibility.

If you would like to lend a hand in organizing these events, please contact the Student Council’s event manager at event@sr.au.dk.

Volunteer in Legal Aid

Many years ago, the Student Council established a voluntary legal aid run by law students at AU. This was done in recognition of the fact that many students are often faced with legal issues where they cannot afford expensive legal bills. As a law student, you can become a legal aid volunteer and gain valuable insight into practical legal work. Contact Legal Aid at ret@sr.au.dk for more information.
