Community Engagement at the Holden Center

Volunteer Opportunities

Introduction

In an effort to support the spirit of public service and volunteerism on campus and in the community, the Holden Center provides annual, on-going and one time service-learning and community service opportunities.

Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities

	There are tons of service events already planned that just need volunteers in the Eugene/Springfield community. To help people connect with these events, the SLP maintains a campus and community calendar of service events and educational opportunities related to service.

Find a Volunteer Internship/Placement Site

	The SLP maintains a database of organizations looking for volunteers. Most of the organizations are looking for students who want to volunteer over multiple days, but many of them would be happy to have a group of students work on special projects for them.

Volunteer for Academic Credit

	The SLP offers for-credit seminar courses through the Family and Human Services Department, which is one of the co-sponsors of the SLP. Each course involves a weekly seminar and practicum in which the student serves at least 30 hours in the term.Course topics range from teaching to civic engagement, focusing anywhere from local communities to global nations.

Find a Service Project

	Planning a service event is an awesome and inspiring process and the SLP staff love to assist people in planning service events. To help make planning a service event easier, the SLP has developed resources.
