Wooster students partner with nonprofit organizations for civic, charitable, or humanitarian reasons
Flexible in location (onsite or remote) and time commitment (one-time, weekly, annual), volunteerism at Wooster allows students to build lasting relationships with the community through meaningful actions.
Partner Organizations will:
- Receive services with no financial commitment
- Act as a co-educator by enriching the student’s Wooster experience
- Build a lasting, meaningful partnership that provides significant value to your organization and the community
Students engaging in volunteer services will:
- Gain personal satisfaction and fulfillment
- Strengthen ties and make a direct impact on the community
- Meet new people and broaden their networks
- Gain experience and develop new skills
- Satisfy any curricular or co-curricular volunteer requirements
There are two types of volunteer opportunities
- Individual: Student identifies and arranges the opportunity
- Group-based: Student organizations often partner with one local nonprofit to build a close partnership that allows members of the organizations to meet their monthly service requirement. The student organization usually initiates the partnership. Campus organizations include:
- Program and service houses
- Greek Life
- Athletic teams
- Wooster Volunteer Network
