During Volunteer Week at the Students' Association, we're celebrating the contribution of student volunteers by telling one of their stories each day, today is Liberation Groups Volunteer Day. Jill Steven's was one of our amazing Liberation Groups Volunteers, read Jill's story below.

Your Name:  Jill Stevens

Study Programme: BA Multimedia Journalism

No of years volunteering?  4

Role:  Women’s Officer

Tell us about the role(s) you were/ are involved in?

 

Through my role I was able to set up a women’s group called the Caledonian Women. Together we ran campaigns for #FreePeriods, I Heart Consent, and I Am A Leader. We fought for the right to have a Gender & Sexuality Safe Space on campus to provide a safe meeting place for marginalised groups. I now run my own online magazine called FeminiSco which focusses on Scotland from a feminist perspective. In my opinion, getting involved with the Students’ Association was as equally valuable for my career as getting good grades and attending classes!

 

What difference has it made to your university experience being a volunteer?

 

The majority of my university friends were those I met at the Students’ Association as I didn’t click with many people in my course. I found the Students’ Association to be the perfect place to meet people with similar interests.
