If a site is unsatisfactory, volunteers are welcome to come more than once for referrals. The UCSC staff offers an orientation and education program for volunteers that consists of workshops and panel discussions with community leaders. These quarterly programs are designed to encourage reflection and to promote a broader understanding of and sensitivity to some of the issues facing the communities in which members of the University community work and live. Working in conjunction with campus service organizations, the UCSC organizes one-time group volunteer activities throughout the year in partnership with communities across the city of Chicago. Team projects are scheduled one Saturday every quarter, and volunteers are required to sign up in advance.
