As an events and fundraising officer you will work to raise awareness for SolidariTee on campus, organise fundraising events and sell out t-shirts. You will be led by your team lead and supported by SolidariTees central team. What makes SolidariTee unique is that fundraising goes hand in hand with awareness-raising and campaigning in everything that we do. We also have our t-shirt collection (that’s where we get our name!), all of which are designed by artists with lived experience of migration, and which is central to what we do on campus. Not only are they a fantastic fundraising tool, but each tee is a visual, physical show of solidarity with refugees and other people forced to flee their homes. Each uni team is responsible for: - organising a mixture of fundraising and awareness-raising events - these range from conferences and panel discussions through to club nights, painting and pottery sessions, quizzes and more! - selling SolidariTee t-shirts to raise money for refugee legal aid and mental health support - building a campus presence and working to make sure that as many people as possible have accurate information about refugee issues and ways to support Opportunity starts at the beginning of term time, however volunteers may start when they wish
SolidariTee is an international charity run and led entirely by volunteers who are students and young people. We're working to make lasting change in the way refugees and other people forced to flee persecution and violence are treated, through a combination of awareness-raising, advocacy, and direct funding to grassroots NGOs providing vital refugee legal aid and mental health support.

Since SolidariTee is a national student led charity, there are many opportunities to develop leadership skills and gain experience in a position with high responsibility. We have a comprehensive induction system that aims to properly equipment each volunteer with correct knowledge and information to combat misinformation and work confidently in their respective roles. Additionally there will be many opportunities throughout the year to attend speaker events and learn more about a future career in the humanitarian sector.
