What we're looking for

We’re looking for passionate, motivated and organised student volunteers to join LUU’s newly developed Liberation Student Committee (LSC) as a ‘Network Lead’. LSC will comprise 7+ student ‘Network Leads’ that each will work to develop and build a vibrant and active student network that aims to represent diverse student voices. The network lead roles include:

• Black Student Network Lead
• LGBTQ+ Student Network Lead
• Women’s Student Network Lead
• Working-Class Student Network Lead
• Disabled Student Network Lead
• Trans Student Network Lead
• Asian Student Network Lead

There is the potential to co-lead on more than one network, to accommodate intersectional identities and the opportunity to submit an ‘open application’ if you would like to create and lead a student network not covered by those mentioned above.

We understand that applicants likely identify with more than one of the groups above and may want to contribute in discussions and projects that cover multiple areas of focus. As such, LSC will have an intersectional and collaborative approach where network leads are encouraged to collaborate with one another on projects.

What you get in return

The elected student executive officer for Equality & Liberation, Amara Relf, will lead and chair the Liberation Student Committee meetings and support you as a Network Lead, with assistance from the Student Communities Coordinator (Liberation).

This volunteer opportunity will give you valuable transferable skills in event planning, campaigning, communication and negotiation, collaboration and teamwork, IT skills, and advocacy and outreach.

How can I get involved?
