Volunteering
Volunteering can be a useful way to develop skills that can help you progress your career, while helping out a good cause at the same time!
Opportunities
- Analytical Volunteer Programme – this is currently on hold due to the pressures of the pandemic on the volunteering sector, but will hopefully be up and running again soon.
- Volunteer with the Royal Statistical Society
- The Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Data Science Campus have a volunteering programme with Statistics Rwanda. You can find out more about the programme on the Data Science website.
Organise your own volunteering
If you cannot find a scheme to volunteer with you can organise your own analytical volunteering.
Reach out to places you would be interested in working with. These could be charities, schools, universities or local community groups.
Lots of places may need help in analytical areas. But you may also find experience in other areas that will help your career progression, such as experience of managing a project or public speaking.
Make sure to read up on safeguarding information if you organise your own volunteering.
