Volunteer Opportunities are provided to students at VCU and we encourage and assist students to make the most of their college experience by becoming involved with the VCU campus and the Richmond community beyond. Through personal and group involvements, the staff can help students identify programs of interest and facilitate contact with local nonprofit agencies.
A variety of volunteer experiences await VCU students in areas related to academic majors and special interests. For students with demanding and changing schedules, you can Match Your Schedule with volunteer opportunities requiring a few minutes, a day, a week, or a long-term commitments.

You will serve as the contact for the nonprofit agency, handle the paperwork, and ensure that all have a fun and meaningful experience, while meeting others and networking with those in your field and the community. Or enhance your resume while providing valuable feedback on volunteer programs.
