Realistically we can not meet every need, but we do try to offer an array of services that help organizations fulfill their missions.</p> <p><strong>Looking for Volunteers?</strong><br /> We advertise volunteer opportunities through our website and in our weekly email publication, “Call for Action.” We usually include service opportunities, public service career information, and social change oriented funding opportunities (fellowships, grants, etc.) To submit an opportunity, <a title="Publicize an Opportunity" href="http://communityoutreach.uconn.edu/publicize-an-opportunity/">please complete this form.</a></p> <p><a title="Serve. Learn. Lead. Change." href="http://communityoutreach.uconn.edu/about-our-service-programs/">Learn more</a> about how we organize our community service opportunities for students. Student Leaders work closely with program participants and community partners to ensure a meaningful service experience. They are responsible for volunteer recruitment, program planning, implementing service that meets self-identified community needs, and promoting reflection about social issues. Student leaders are supported by a number of peer and professional resources. They attend a week of training before the start of the fall semester to develop leadership skills, build collaboration among student leaders, and prepare for their programs. Throughout the year they participate regularly in their programs and maintain frequent communication with Community Outreach staff and their community partners. <strong>If your agency would like to be involved, please contact聽<a href="mailto:communityoutreach@uconn.edu">communityoutreach@uconn.edu</a>.</strong></p> <hr /> <p><strong>Federal Work Study</strong></p> <p>Students who are eligible for Federal Work Study funds can choose to work in a community service oriented placement at a local non-profit agency.
