Frequently Asked Questions
Here you can find some answers to some frequently asked questions about volunteering opportunities with STAR.
General Questions
Do I have to be a student or young person to volunteer for STAR?
No, anyone can apply for volunteering roles listed on this website. Some of our volunteering roles may be reserved for students and young people (for example, when a funding arrangement specifies this) and when this is the case it will be stated specifically. Obviously, you must be a student to join our a STAR student group, or a young person aged 16-25 to join our youth network.
National Office Volunteers and Interns
Are internships and National Office volunteers paid?
No. Out of pocket expenses incurred by interns and volunteers are reimbursed. STAR will pay daily expenses to a maximum value of £11.20 for travel (the equivalent of a zones 1 to 5 London travelcard) and £3.00 for lunch.
Regional Coordinator roles
Do I need to own a car to be a Regional Coordinator?
No. We work on the assumption for all our volunteering roles that volunteers will travel by public transport.
Are the Regional Coordinator posts flexible enough that I could do it out of a 9-5 working week?
Yes. The Regional Coordinator roles are set up to fit in around your own personal commitments, so you can choose when to volunteer. You can volunteer entirely at weekends and in the evenings.
