Get involved

This association runs entirely on volunteers.

There are no salaries and no office. Everything you see — the gala, the scholarship, the mentoring scheme — exists because Aligarians gave up their evenings.

Where we need hands

Mentor a student

Two or three conversations a year with a recent graduate finding their way into UK work.

Help run events

Venue hunting, registration desks, hosting a regional dinner in your own city.

Fundraising

Grow the scholarship fund, approach employers, organise the annual appeal.

Communications

Write for the newsletter, photograph events, look after our social channels.

Start a regional chapter

Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Bristol — you only need a handful of people to begin.

Offer work experience

An internship, a shadowing day, or an honest hour about how your industry hires.

Put your name forward

Tell us roughly how much time you have. Even one event a year genuinely helps.
