How to utilize the Volunteer Portal to recruit volunteers:

Is your nonprofit, school, or government agency looking for volunteers? We are excited to partner with you to help your organization achieve its mission and goals! 

STEP 1:
Complete our short on-line registration form. This will get you into our database! Click here to complete this step.

STEP 2:
Consider how to best utilize Pitt students to fulfill your mission. By creating a plan for engagement you will be ready to post opportunities that are both meaningful and productive to you and our students. Students enjoy understanding how their service will directly impact your agency, your clients, and your community. By sharing with them how each projects accomplishes one of these, you are inspiring future participation!

STEP 3:
Make a back up plan for your volunteer activities! Weather can alter plans and students work much faster than expected! Be sure to have a "wish-list" of items to complete if your out-door project(s) can't proceed, or the project you thought would take all day is finished in less than an hour!

Thank you!  Someone will contact you shortly to discuss your volunteer needs.
