Get Involved

Students are welcome to get involved in the life of the Chaplaincy at Aston University.

Those who regularly engage in Chaplaincy activities and events may be interested in becoming either a Chaplaincy Ambassador or Chaplaincy Volunteer. In these roles, students have the opportunity to support the work of the Chaplains in a non-pastoral capacity. 

Chaplaincy Ambassadors

Chaplaincy Ambassadors are recruited each year from students who have been regular and engaged members of the Chaplaincy community. This voluntary role involves:

• Assisting the Chaplains with organising and hosting events in the Martin Luther King Multi-Faith Centre.
• Signposting students to the Chaplains or to other sources of help and support, as appropriate. 
• Representing students' views to the Chaplaincy team to change or improve the service. 
• Chaplaincy Ambassadors are asked to make a regular manageable commitment of time to support the work of the Martin Luther King Multi-Faith Centre. 

If you are interested in becoming a Chaplaincy Ambassador please write a short letter (no more than two sides of A4) and send it to chaplaincy@aston.ac.uk outlining the following:

• Why you want to become a Chaplaincy Ambassador.
• How you have benefited from the Chaplaincy.
• What skills and experience you have that you feel would be useful in the role.

Chaplaincy Volunteers

Students who wish to actively participate in the work of the Martin Luther King Multi-Faith Centre are invited to become Chaplaincy Volunteers. This role is less formal than that of the Chaplaincy Ambassador but acknowledges that students might wish to contribute in other ways.

If you are interested in becoming a Chaplaincy Volunteer, please talk to one of the Chaplains or express your interest by email: chaplaincy@aston.ac.uk.
