Check out our variety of ways that you can get involved by volunteering to help others.
One time each semester, Volunteer Services invites local not-for-profit agencies to campus. These agencies provide information for students to encourage their participation as volunteers. This fair provides an excellent opportunity for students to become involved in service projects in the local community. Students are able to give back to others and learn about our community at the same time.

During the year, Volunteer Services sponsors service days. These days bring volunteers together to serve and help others. Students may participate as a team or sign on as an individual. Projects are established throughout the community and include city street clean up and beautification, planting flower boxes, painting projects, senior citizen lawn care, and nursing center projects. This is a great way to give back to the community you live in.

Donating blood means life to many people. Several times a year, the University of Central Missouri teams up with the Community Blood Center to host blood drives. All of the blood donated is used in local hospitals and benefits those in the area. Volunteers are always needed to donate.
Sign-ups are encouraged: and walk-ins are welcomed.
All Blood Drives are located in the Elliott Student Union Ballrooms.
