If your CV is lacking experience and looking a bit empty and you would like to help others these opportunities could be for you...
International Buddy Scheme
This
is a program where we pair up newly arrived international students with
returning Northampton Students (home or international). The role of our
returning students is to act as mentors and help these students settle
in. This would be through taking part in group activities, or meeting up
one on one over a cup of coffee. This is ideal to fit around their
studies, and can be done on or off campus. More

Nightline
This
is a student led welfare listening service. We training students to offer
an evening support service which enables other students to phone or email
someone who will take time to listen to them; this is completely
anonymous. The issues could range from being home sick, exam stress or
just feeling alone. There is an interview selection process and 2 day
training which must be completed before anyone can work the evening shifts.
Alternatively,
we are looking for a team of student who would be the faces of Nightline.
We would be calling them the Friends of Nightline, and they are all about
promoting and marketing the services. More
