Post service opportunities

Identifying volunteers who can help to address your organization's—and your clients'—needs can seem like a daunting task, but you can use the list below to learn how the Office of Community Service Learning can help you find the right student volunteers.

1-800-volunteer.org
This national database contains information on community service opportunities across the nation. Using a zip code or city and state, volunteer opportunities are sorted regionally.  Community based organizations can register on 1-800-volunteer.org and then post detailed information on their available service opportunities, including roles for individual volunteers, groups and those looking for short-term projects.  In addition to listings of service opportunities, this website offers tools to help volunteers track their service and maintain a resume of volunteer roles.  The local segment of this resource is maintained by the ACT Community Service Center, a program of Franklin County DIAL/SELF.

UMass Serves!
Weekly, the Office of Community Service Learning sends out UMass Serves!, an electronic newsletter for students who have expressed interest in learning about service opportunities, courses and scholarships. Click here to find out how to submit an announcement to UMass Serves!

Bulletin boards
If you send a flyer or other written material to our office, we will post it on the bulletin board just outside our office.
