Need Volunteers?

The Volunteer Center serves mainly as a hub of information.  We take information about volunteering opportunities and share it with students, faculty and staff who have chosen to receive Student Connect. 

Volunteers will contact the person making the volunteer request directly if they are interested.  The Volunteer Center coordinators will not organize a volunteering team for an event.  We cannot guarantee a response from the student body for any particular request.

The Volunteer Center has a large volume of requests, so although we do include all of our requests, we attempt to keep it short.  For continuous opportunities, a new request is listed for two consecutive weeks.  For one-time events, the request is listed until the date of the event.  In general, the volunteer opportunity will not be added to the update until two to three weeks prior to the date of the event.  If you need to have volunteers arranged before the event, please indicate a volunteer registration deadline, and we will use this as the cut-off date.

Yes, we appreciate your feedback.  When you find enough volunteers for your event, please let the coordinators know so they can remove the request from the update. 

Yes. If you do not receive a response from volunteers for your event, please let us know.  We do have other avenues for finding volunteers for some events, and are willing to explore different courses when the need arises. 

Please contact the Volunteer Center at 1215 University Center; e-mail volctr@nmu.edu or phone 906-227-2466, and we'll find an answer.
