Volunteer Opportunities Fair

This fair, held at the beginning of each academic year, focuses on volunteer opportunities available at local non-profit organizations.  Students are able to speak one-on-one with agency staff about specific positions, required time commitment, distance from campus, accessibility of public transportation to the site, and any necessary training for volunteers.
