Career Services assists students who wish to volunteer in the community by helping students to determine their unique interests and available volunteering locations. Volunteering can help students develop career readiness skills, while at the same time, volunteering helps put student talent to use within community agencies. Career Services will refer students to agencies interested in utilizing volunteers.
Examples of sites that host volunteers are:
- Museums and libraries
- Agencies that work with people with disabilities
- Youth mentoring programs
- Child care programs
- Hospitals and other medical settings
- School and classroom volunteer programs
- Environmental volunteers
- Hunger and homelessness assistance programs
- Youth sports and recreation programs
Volunteer opportunities for these programs (and more!) are available each semester. Please stop by Career Services, Van Hoesen Hall, Room B-5 or call 607-753-4715 for more information or to set up an appointment.
