Volunteer Registration Process

1. Check the Community Service Agency Directory or VKSU Community Service Programs and select an agency or program that you want to discuss with a VKSU assistant.

2. Print and complete the Volunteer Application Form (application forms are also available in the VKSU office, Student Center 264).

3. Deliver the completed application form to VKSU, Student Center Room 264, during regular business hours.

4. VKSU assistants will provide you with information on the community agency you have selected or provide volunteer options in your interest area.

5. VKSU assistants will notify the community agency regarding the day and time you will report for service.

6. After completion of service, both the volunteer and the agency complete a community service verification form.

VKSU monitors the progress of volunteer activities through follow-up mailings to the volunteer and the agency.

If you would like to talk with a VKSU assistant before selecting your agency, please visit the VKSU office in the Carmichael Student Center, Room 264.
