It's that time of the year again! The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley, in partnership with the University of Northern Iowa's Office of Community Engagement, is hosting the Fall Volunteer Fair. Unfortunately, we don't feel like this year's event can be in-person. However, we have provided a way for students to browse and connect with community organizations!
Find Volunteer Opportunities
The UNI Fall Volunteer Fair will happen online using Get Connected. Get Connected is a one-stop volunteer engagement platform and the perfect place to find volunteer opportunities!
How it works
Students seeking volunteer opportunities can browse volunteer opportunities from community organizations and nonprofits. The volunteer opportunities promoted will be one-time, long-term, and skills-based opportunities. Some volunteer opportunities are onsite and others are remote opportunities.
Connect & Serve
When you find a volunteer opportunity you are interested in, click "Respond". The volunteer coordinator for your opportunity will contact you directly with more details to get your started.
If you do not have an account, you will be asked to create one. With your Get Connected volunteer profile, you can connect with any volunteer opportunity posted on our site, track your hours served, become a “fan” of an agency and more!
