About Student Volunteering

Durham University has a long history of volunteering, it was officially formalized for students as Student Community Action (SCA) in 1989, but we know that volunteering informally pre-dates this. You can see more of our history in our online exhibition here.

SCA is what you know as Durham University Student Volunteering and Outreach (DUSVO) now, the home of student-led volunteering. DUSVO has expanded over the years and now sits within the wider Volunteering and Outreach department (DUVO), where we also have college, society, department and sports volunteering opportunities.
