The Volunteer Iowa Program links students, faculty, staff, and community members interested in volunteer opportunities to university and community service agencies and organizations. Fill out our volunteer interest form. Information, speakers, and specially tailored presentations are available upon request. Newsletter VIP publishes a newsletter monthly that contains articles, helpful hints, information, and a current list of volunteer activities available on campus and in local communities. Student Organization Network VIP also serves as a network and a support base for student organizations interested in community service projects.
Information is available on project ideas, leadership improvement, and community contacts.
Local Opportunities Local opportunities exist with both university organizations and community agencies in a variety of areas. Most interests can be matched with a volunteer opportunity. Campus Opportunities Service learning opportunities are also available through campus departments. VIP assists with these projects and acts as a resource to departments starting a program or with one currently in place. National Regional Opportunities VIP supports and provides current information about community service and service learning projects from several national and regional volunteer organizations such as Campus Ecology, America Works, and AmeriCorps.
