Database of Local Volunteer Opportunities
Although there are several campus affiliated programs to
volunteer with, many students choose to volunteer independently or to
meet a class requirement. To serve these students, the CIC maintains the
Database of Local Volunteer Opportunities. The database is easily searchable
and contains over 320 local service agencies. With the assistance of a
CIC staff member, students can search the database according to their
interests, time availability, or distance from Rice. Printed search results
provide users with the name and mission of the agency, the volunteer positions
available, who to contact for more information, how far the site is from
Rice, the minimum time commitment, and the responsibilities, expectations,
and training required. A hard file is available to review and often materials
such as a volunteer application are available. Appointments are recommended,
but drop-ins during regular weekday hours are welcomed.
I'd
like to make an appointment to search the database.

non-profit agencies can find out more about ways to recruit volunteers
