The London School of Economics and Political Science pledges to encourage volunteering amonst its students. The Volunteer Centre at LSE Careers and Student Union will continue to work in partnership to further develop student volunteering as an integral part of student life.
Volunteering offers benefits to our students and the local community in line with the school's values and commitments. By volunteering students can engage with the wider world, support the environment and gain new skills to compete in a rapidly changing job market.
