Don't let the opportunity to use bright, enthusiastic SUNY New Paltz students and alumni volunteer for your organization pass you by.
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 of your organization.
- You can post one time, short term or ongoing projects.
- Depending on your needs, both individuals 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 the surrounding communities. The integration of community service and instruction strategically designed to meet the important community needs, to 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 production and quality of service for organizations and deeper understanding for the students who participate.
- Strengthens partnership between the college and the community.
- The enthusiastic students inspire the community at large to participate in the various worthwhile events.
