There are many ways you can learn about volunteer opportunities in State College.
First, find organizations seeking volunteers through a volunteer network database:
- Volunteer Match (enter in your location to find local opportunities)
- Do Something (targeted toward youth)
- Generation On (provides resources on projects youth can start on their own to serve the community)
Second, Find local volunteer opportunities through an organization like the Community Help Center: Along with assisting clients, the Community Help Center also helps members in our community who are looking for a volunteer opportunity. Depending on the person's interests, the organization will work to place them either at Community Help Centre or with another agency in the area.
Before contacting the a local volunteer agency, consider why you want to volunteer, how much time you have to donate, what issues you want to address and what populations of people you want to work with. Call 814-234-8222 or stop in the Centre Helps at 141 West Beaver Ave to find volunteer opportunities that match your interests.
