Recruit Volunteers

Willamette University students, faculty, and staff contribute over 65,000 hours per year in volunteer work serving in over 200 agencies. The best way to recruit volunteers is to post your information on the current opportunities database and to attend the Internship and Volunteer Fair in the fall.

Internship and Volunteer Fair

The Internship and Volunteer is co-sponsored by the Offices of Career Services and Community Service Learning. The fair provides an opportunity for agencies to recruit applicants for either internship or volunteer positions. This event occurs annually in September. The next Internship and Volunteer Fair will be Monday, September 21st. Invitations and registration information are mailed to interested agencies every summer. To be added to our database to receive registration information, please contact Connie Ralph at cralph@willamette.edu.

Weekly Service Email

The Office of Community Service Learning sends out a weekly email featuring service opportunities in the community to approximately 250 Willamette students, faculty, and staff. If you have a service opportunity that you would like included in the weekly service email, please send a short paragraph including the date, time, location, activity description, and contact information of the service opportunity to service@willamette.edu.

Student Referrals

Students often visit the Office of Community Service Learning to find service opportunities that match their individual needs and interests. By maintaining close working relationships with agencies in the community, we are better prepared to inform students of volunteer opportunities available with your organization. Please email service@willamette.edu to update the Office of Community Service Learning on your current volunteer needs or to arrange a service site visit.
