Civic Engagement Activities Portal
Maastricht University (UM) recognises the importance of students doing voluntary work and wants to support them in this. For that reason, the UM has developed the Civic Engagement Activities Portal. This portal offers an overview of all the voluntary jobs that voluntary organisations from Maastricht and surroundings have on offer, making it easier for students to find their prefect voluntary gig.
