Serve the City Paris is part of a global Anglophone volunteer movement. In Paris, the chapter focuses on food distribution for people experiencing homelessness and language exchanges in English and French for asylum seekers. Learn more at https://www.servethecity.paris/ Responsibilities & Ideal Background Activities span daytime volunteering through a structured S.A.V.E internship with specialised workshops alongside regular charity work and CSR events. Experience with homeless or displaced populations is not required but helpful. A good fit is someone interested in food systems/repurposing waste food, language exchanges, corporate events, or fundraising for essential supplies and services. Although the organisation is Anglophone, improving French can enhance the experience. LiA Champion Our LiA Champion is Sali Adams. Curious about this project but not sure where to start? They can share candid insights from their experience—what the work involved, skills that proved useful, and pointers for exploring a good fit.

Hello! I'm an incoming third-year History student at the University of St Andrews. I'm from Madrid, Spain, but I moved to Scotland for university.  My research project focuses on the impact of the Cold War on sexuality and sexual expression among LGBTQ+ youth in Brazil and the relationship between sexuality and the state in a military dictatorship. 

Hello, I am Maisie! I am a third-year Classics student at Oxford. I like to spend my time (when I don't have work due) cooking and baking cakes for my family or making collages out of old magazines. My current obsession is films by Pedro Almodóvar and Ethio-jazz. 

Hi, I'm Holly! I'm really interested in Psychology, Linguistics, social action, and policy. In my free time, I love to dance, play guitar, learn languages, and travel. I completed my Laidlaw research project last summer, on UK policy around extra-curricular activities. This summer, I completed my LiA in Mexico, designing a social media campaign for an NGO supporting survivors of gender-based violence. Would love to chat more if you have any questions!

Human Sciences finalist at University of Oxford, with a particular interest in health promotion and creation. Away from my studies, I am a keen triathlete, and love reading, tennis and cooking!
