30 Minutes a Month
30 Minutes a Month is a micro-volunteering program – where small acts on your part make a big difference to our students. You give 30 minutes out of your month to complete activities that benefit you, current students, and your fellow graduates. These activities further your professional development, help students get the most out of their education and help the University demonstrate the impact our alumni are making in our communities.
The program is an annual, 9-month program that runs from March to November.
Each month, participants are sent a priority activity, which will take around 30 minutes to complete. As an alternative, you can also complete one of the standing activities. When you complete 3 months, 6 months and 9 months, you receive a reward. Simple!
Read below on the range of activities that are part of this year's program. You can also find the most frequently asked questions our participants have raised.
From a Certificate I to a PhD, if you have graduated with a CQUniversity qualification, you are eligible to join this program when it opens each year.
