London School of Economics' Volunteer Centre - What Students Can Teach Us About Inclusive Volunteering
Created: 28/09/2026
In this blog, Maria McEvoy, Founder of Inclusive Volunteering, explores why engaging more young volunteers requires us to look beyond recruitment and focus on the experience we create once they arrive.
From flexibility and accessibility to belonging and inclusion, Maria considers how listening to students can help charities remove barriers and create better volunteering experiences for everyone.
She says "An application isn’t the outcome. An active, engaged volunteer is." The blog looks at looking beyond recruitment, when volunteering is hard to access, what inclusion actually looks like, and how inclusive volunteering can benefit everyone.
