Who Can Be An i.CARIAN

Students with the following attributes and qualities:

• enjoy interacting with people from different cultures
• open-minded and respectful of diverse beliefs and lifestyles
• good communication skills
• proficient in spoken English (for Conversation Peers)
reliable and responsible

Volunteers who display strong organisational skills and great sense of dedication stand a chance to become project heads and assume leadership roles.




Why Should I join i.CARIAN?
You give and you get. The chance to make a contribution to new students and the international student community is the reason most students serve as volunteers.

Participation in the project will be on a purely voluntary basis, as such, there will be no monetary rewards and CCA points given, allowances on certain expenses incurred e.g. transport will be provided upon our discretion.

We are looking for those with the willing heart and the genuine interests to help new international students and impact on the international student community.




’Benefit’ is not a dirty word
We have every intention to groom the volunteers so that they gain the exposure and develop skills to form a foundation for a good career in today's global marketplace:

• Gain valuable volunteer experience
• Form new friendships and meet others in the project
• Increase knowledge and appreciation of other cultures
• Attend training / enrichment programmes and workshops wherever appropriate and possible
• Gain experience in a real working environment
• An exclusive i.CARIAN t-shirt
• Receive certificates of participation
• Receive letters of commendation (for outstanding volunteers)

Remember, volunteering always looks good on a resumé!
