3. Different Ways to Get Involved

180 Degrees provides opportunities for university students to assist non-profit organizations to achieve a greater social impact. There are three main ways students can get involved:

1. Join a Consulting Team

This involves working with a team of 4-8 students throughout a semester to assist a non-profit organization to overcome challenges they may be facing. Students are matched to projects that are appropriate for their level and area of expertise. Applications to join a consulting team open at the start of each semester.

2. Partake in Social Innovation Competitions

These competitions normally take place over the course of a single day and involve students developing creative ideas for how to address real-life problems encountered by non-profit organizations.

3. Undertake an Intensive Research Project

These projects generally last for between 1 to 3 months and involve sponsored travel to a developing country, often working with students from various 180 Degrees chapters. This year we will be working with Cambodia Children’s Trust

4. Benefits from Being Involved

The benefits you’ll obtain from being involved include:

• Making a meaningful and tangible contribution to communities both domestically and internationally

• Gaining work experience by applying university studies in a practical environment

• Developing teamwork, problem solving and leadership skills

• Getting exposure to the work of non-profit organizations
