University of Montana Volunteer Fair Open to All

It feels gratifying. And it doesn't hurt the resume either. Missoula is a very hands-on volunteer community. And the University of Montana will offer one-stop shopping with a Volunteer Fair. And remember: It's not just for UM students!

University of Montana students looking for volunteer opportunities can explore their options during the Fall Volunteer Fair on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 15-16. Hosted by UM’s Office for Civic Engagement and the student group Volunteers In Action, the fair will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days in the University Center Atrium.

Students and community members can learn about numerous volunteer opportunities available in the Missoula area from nearly 30 community agencies, which will have the chance to recruit new volunteers. The Office for Civic Engagement also will provide information about several of its programs during the fair.

Every year at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters, the Office for Civic Engagement and Volunteers in Action coordinate a volunteer fair to connect interested students, UM faculty and staff, and other members of the community with volunteer opportunities in the Missoula area. The fair helps nonprofit agencies promote their activities and recruit new members to help meet community-identified needs.

It all sounds like a wonderful win-win, so keep the dates in mind.  DB
