Volunteering
Knowledge, time, and energy of people are a powerful resource in our community. A volunteer works without payment or compensation for services because they choose to do so. Many serve at non profit organizations – but a significant number also serve less formally, either individually or as part of a group. Once you’ve identified a need for volunteers, you are ready to use Volunteer Connection. This online resource will give SUNY New Paltz students and alumni a brief idea of the specific needs.

You can post one time, short term or ongoing projects

Depending on your needs both individual and groups of students can assist with projects

Examples include, but are not limited to, tutoring, mentoring, clerical work, mailing, fundraising or special events that require extra assistance

Service Learning
Service Learning is a teaching/ learning strategy that links learning in the classroom to activities throughout New Paltz and surrounding communities. The integration of community service and instruction is strategically designed to meet the important community needs, improve student learning and foster civic involvement.

Coursework is strategically designed to both meet the important community needs,
to improve student learning and foster civic involvement

The partnerships provide increased productivity and quality of service for
organizations and deeper understanding for the students who participate

Strengthened partnership between the college and the community

The enthusiastic students inspire the community at large to participate in the various
worthwhile events
Over 50 organizations have posted volunteer opportunities for our students.
