Additional Opportunities<\/div>
\n

Along with these great volunteer opportunities, there are several chances to volunteer throughout the school year. However with the changes due to COVID-19, volunteering can be a challenge. With this in mind, there are options to volunteer with social distancing and safety regulations, along with virtual options. Current partnerships with community service members can be found on Engage or below. Keep in mind some of the information might change when safety regulations change, so it is important to contact the organization or Volunteer Coordinator for more information before signing up to volunteer.<\/p>\n
