A "better community" begins with you, Volunteer!

Mission Statement
The purpose of the office of volunteer opportunities is to provide students and organizations
within the ASU community a place to volunteer, learn and make a difference. The office of volunteer
opportunities also wants to provide students with connections throughout the campus and the
community that can be used throughout their college career and for the rest of their life.

Vision
The office of volunteer opportunities will provide all students with a diverse variety of places to
volunteer. We will also provide new or current organizations with places to volunteer if needed.
The volunteer opportunities will have and maintain effective communication between the
students and agencies throughout the community. A database will be kept current by the volunteer
opportunities with current agencies on campus and the community that utilize volunteers. A relationship
within the different scholastic departments on campus will be formed to provide more students
opportunities for developing career ideas.
