Volunteer

Volunteers have been the heart of Belfast Senior College for 23 years (and counting!).

We were joined in 2024 by a paid part-time staff person to help support our dedicated volunteers in their work teaching, crafting curriculum, promoting Senior College in the community, nurturing our members and running the daily operations for our classes.

Please get in touch to join us as a Senior College volunteer!

Here’s how you can help:

Be a Class Assistant

Every class has a volunteer assistant to help with room setup, announcements, and communicating with the instructor and students.

Be a class assistant, and you get to take that class for FREE!

Email us to volunteer as an assistant

AV Setup for Classes

If you are tech-savvy (or willing to learn!), we need help with audiovisual setup at some classes (projector, sound, laptop for instructor’s presentation).

Be an AV Assistant for a class, and take that course for FREE!

Email us if you're interested in helping with AV

Support Our Instructors

“Instructor Liaisons" are assigned for each course to support instructors & answer questions while the course is being developed.

Instructor Liaisons work with our Curriculum Committee to get any questions answered.

Email Curriculum Committee to learn more about being a liaison

Teach

Submit your course proposal online, or email us to talk about your idea.

You don’t need to have an educational background. We can help you refine your course for a successful teaching and learning experience!

Board & Committees

Our Board of Trustees and standing committees each meet once per month.

To learn more about participating in our Curriculum, Membership & Outreach, Special Events, Finance, Nominations, or Archives Committees, please contact the chair of that committee.

Learn more about joining our Board by contacting the Nominating chair.
