Once you have completed the online registration form your name will be added to the SLVP database. Notification of new leadership and volunteer opportunities will be through a weekly bulletin to your student email account and will also be listed at www.myssaa.com.au/volunteering/project.

These opportunities may include:

* Orientation, including O'hosting

* Faculty projects, including mentoring

* Events and Activities

* Advisory Groups for international and postgraduate students (ISAG and PSAG)

* Academic Panels and Hearings

* Student representation on the Student Consultative Network (SCN)

Free training, support and other opportunities

Leadership and volunteering through SSAA is more than a great chance to help out and make friends - students who reach 15+ volunteer hours are eligible for free training, discounted or free trips, certification, reference letters and other benefits. Training may include Food Handling and Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) Certificates, as well as Barista (coffee) and other courses.

SLVP log sheets (available at www.myssaa.com.au/volunteering/forms-and-log-sheets) are used to verify leadership and volunteer work - simply record the work done and get a Swinburne staff member to verify this with a signature. These can be handed in to an SLVP Officer at any time prior to the annual due date.

Top SLVP students will be eligible to receive the prestigious Vice-Chancellor's Leadership Certificate and will be invited to the SLVP Award Ceremony to be personally presented by the Vice-Chancellor. Students who demonstrate outstanding commitment to the values of leadership and volunteering will be also considered for the SLVP Student Leader of the Year or Student Volunteer of the Year awards.
