These team members are HUMAKO members who are interested in helping the HUMAKO Board and the Capital Region division to organise programmes and events for other students during 2024. The time spent as a team member is agreed on a case-by-case basis and does not commit you to participate in everything possible. There is no time limit on when you can apply to join the team, you can apply at any time. All applications will be processed within 2 weeks of receipt.

What kind of things can you do as a team member?

As a team member, you can get involved in things like organising checkpoints at events, helping out in the kitchen at sessions, planning events and organising new student infos.

What’s in it for you?

The opportunity to get to know HUMAKO from a vantage point in good company. After the orientation, you will become part of the team.

Apply to become a tutor or a division member

Tutors and divisions work together. You can apply for both forms of local activity if you are motivated and your life situation allows. However, we advise you to think about which of the two is more suitable and attractive for you. The workload includes both tasks and you should be able to commit to both positions of trust throughout your term.

Tutor – supporting students in their everyday life

As a HUMAKO tutor, you can be present and help students with problems related to their studies and leisure time. As a Humak student yourself, you will be able to give other students valuable peer support and encouragement in their studies.

Tutoring is an activity that supports your studies, such as:

  • Guiding students
  • Giving advice
  • Helping people become friends
  • Providing peer support
  • Promoting community and well-being
  • Supporting networking and everyday activities for students

Tutoring happens in different environments, locally, in the context of timetabled lessons and possibly face-to-face in different locations. Tutoring includes brainstorming, planning, reporting and evaluating. The commitment to the activity is flexible depending on your timetable and life situation.

As a tutor you get:

  • Experience in group faciliation, guidance and online facilitation
  • Get to know different people from different programmes and years
  • Networking opportunities
  • Important working life skills and a chance to develop professionally
  • Chance to use your own strengths and skills
  • Your own tutorgroup
  • Fun activities to do
  • A chance to break away from your studies the pressure to perform
  • Improve tutoring
  • 3-10 credits and a certificate

Tutoring is coordinated by HUMAKO and all tutors are HUMAKO tutors. Therefore, students must have a valid Student Union HUMAKO membership to act as a tutor. Tutor activities are guided and supported by the HUMAKO board’s local activities team, as well as by designated tutor leaders and HUMAKO tutor teachers. So you don’t have to be a tutor on your own!
