Community Partners

"In every community there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart there is the power to do it." – Marianne Williamson

 

Service Pro - Online Volunteer Matching Software

Service Pro is a comprehensive web-based database through which all stakeholders in the service process - including community partners, students, student organizations, faculty and staff - can communicate and organize these important relationships. For more information on Service Pro and to learn how you can be involved, click on this link.

 

Opportunities With the Center

Opportunities exist for students to sign-up for short-term projects, volunteer long-term or participate in service trips. If you have a project that you would like to recruit USF students to participate in, please contact our office for more information.

 

In addition to these programs, community partners are able to participate in, advertise their volunteer needs or host volunteers through the following opportunities:

 

Student Volunteer Fair

Each year, the Center sponsors a Volunteer Fair on campus for community partners to advertise their opportunities to students. Your agency would register and be allocated one, 6ft. table in the USF Marshall Student Center Atrium to directly recruit students for your various service projects, events, internships, etc. throughout the year. This free fair provides community partners with a prime avenue to recruit students and expose their non-profit to the USF community. Our next Volunteer Fair will be September 11th, 2013 from 11am-2pm in the USF Marshall Student Center Atrium.
