Stay abreast of current volunteer opportunities in the community through the Community Volunteer Center's (CVC) volunteer opportunity mailing list and quartlerly newsletter sent via email.

Volunteer as a family. Most of us work fulltime, our children are involved in activities, and belong to churches and barely have enough time to spend with our family. Make volunteering a time to spend with your family. Engage your spouse, children, siblings, parents, and grandparents in a family volunteer project.

Corporate volunteering. Companies who invest in volunteerism generally benefit from a more highly skilled workforce, increased morale, motivation, and teamwork. They also tend to enjoy enhanced customer loyalty and satisfaction, along with a better public image.

Collaborate with the CVC and other necessary entities to solve social problems in the community through volunteerism.

Virtual volunteering. If you have computer access and the necessary skills, some organizations now offer the opportunity to do volunteer work over the computer. This might take the form of giving free legal advice, typing a college term paper for someone with a disability or simply keeping contact with a shut-in who has email. This sort of volunteering might suit you well if you have limited time, no transportation or a physical disability that precludes you from getting around freely. Virtual volunteering can also be a way for you to give time if you simply enjoy computers and want to employ your skill in your volunteer work.
