Not sure where to volunteer?

• Click on "Opportunities" for pages of different volunteer opportunities! 
  

• Request a one-on-one service consultation to find opportunities and/or information best suited to your specific interests, needs and/or schedule.

For Group Leaders

• User groups can be used to track group and individual service hours. An example of a user group would be a student organization or a service-learning class. This form can be used to update your roster, request a new group, or request administrative access to an existing group 
• If you would like to manage your group's service activities, check out a brief step-by-video.

Proof of service 

• Students who need us to provide a letter of reference should have volunteer supervisors sign a Volunteer Service Log. We cannot provide proof of service without a volunteer service log. You can upload it to "Files" on the Get Connected platform for safekeeping.
