Volunteer today

As you embark on your next endeavour, grow in your chosen career and establish yourself as a successful alumni, there will be many opportunities for you to give back and volunteer.
Volunteering can be a rewarding experience while also helping you to stay connected to the University, develop new skills, and enhance your own professional development. By directly contributing, you are making a positive impact on the lives of our current students, inspiring our Heriot-Watt community and contributing to the successful delivery of our strategic goals.
Here are just some of the ways you can volunteer your time to support our Heriot-Watt community. Please email watt.club@hw.ac.uk to discuss any of these opportunities further.
- Give a guest lecture
- Join an industry advisory board
- Participate in a careers panel discussion
- Represent the alumni community and join the Watt Club Council
Ways to give back
We connect professionals working in a wide variety of industries with current Heriot-Watt students and recent graduates to support their long-term career planning. By participating in our Career Mentoring Programme, you will have an important positive effect on a student or graduate's career and development.
For more information on how to get involved in the Career Mentoring Programme, please contact our programme co-ordinator Karen Beattie.
