Volunteer Opportunities
With over sixty non-profit service organizations surrounding Seattle University, there are endless opportunities to get involved in the community through volunteering. The Center for Service and Community Engagement is available to help students identify which organizations would work best for the student’s interests and schedule, and provide resources for the student to engage in service.
If you are interested in volunteering right now, please email csce@seattleu.edu to be added to our Justice and Service listserve, which posts short- and long-term volunteer opportunities, events, internships and other news related to social justice issues. If you are looking for an on-going service opportunity, you can browse through the list of our partner organizations. If you would like help in finding a place that would work well for you, please feel free to stop by the office at any time or contact us via email/phone.
