STUDENTS: Join us to learn about opportunities to volunteer throughout the local area. Representatives will be on hand from more than 60 community agencies that address a range of issues, including poverty, the environment, advocacy, mentoring, and the arts.  In addition, you can learn about service-learning classes at UMass and how to find a placement for a service-learning course you are enrolled in.

COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS: We invite you to join us at the annual Community Service Fair. You will have the opportunity to connect with members of the UMass community, including undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty and staff. This is an excellent time to find student volunteers for a variety of your needs! In addition, you will have the opportunity to connect with UMass faculty who teach CSL courses.

We also invite members of community-based organizations to join us earlier in the day for our annual networking seminar:
