What does a UniGuide do?
As a UniGuide, you will use your own experiences and perspectives to guide new students through Orientation, helping them explore academic life, campus activities and everything that the University of Auckland has to offer.
This is a unique volunteer opportunity to:

- Meet heaps of new people from diverse backgrounds
- Gain transferable skills in leadership and public speaking
- Enhance future employability
- Participate in professional development workshops
- Be a positive influence, while having fun
- Work towards your co-curricular record through the Community Engagement path
