Hi I’m Rebecca and I’m currently a 3rd year Zoology student at the University of Dundee. I joined LIFT OFF at a volunteering fair over a year ago now.
I’ve helped at various school workshops, GBLOC, pupil forum and at the summer residential; LO2S and have really enjoyed it. Volunteering with Lift Off has been a great 
experience and has enabled me to positively contribute to the decisions of the pupils by giving them an insight into student life and helping challenge some of their perception of students, i.e. being lazy, not working hard and constantly partying!
LIFT OFF provides so many opportunities for pupils (and students!) to get involved. For me the most important being the pupil forum, where a representative from each school can contribute to the forward planning and future direction of LIFT OFF ’s work. LIFT OFFmakes such a difference to the futures of pupils, by opening their eyes to the opportunities available to them, and it’s very rewarding to be a part of that.
I’d recommend that any students keen to work with young people should get involved. The pupils love being able to ask students questions and really appreciate you giving up your time! :)
