Support your campus, support your community!
Volunteers connect people to hope and offer a new chance to build a stronger community. It usually starts with a single act of kindness, but often leads to a lifetime of enriching experiences. This year, the SVSU Student Life Center has teamed up with the United Way of the Tri-Cities to bring you a new, online volunteer database to make it easier for you to get involved as a volunteer!
1-800-Volunteer.Org is quick, easy, free and always available. You can maximize your volunteer experience by receiving email notifications of opportunities that match your interest or availability, manage your personal volunteer schedule, set a personal goal for yourself (or your organization) and record your volunteer service hours.
