Student Volunteer Connections (SVC) is your on-campus volunteer hub. We can help connect you with volunteer opportunities in the community and beyond that fit your interests, academic and career aspirations, and availability. Our services are available to both undergraduate and graduate students, online and in person by appointment. 

Do you have a volunteer opportunity to share with University of Guelph Students? Please complete our webform to submit your opportunity to Student Volunteer Connections [1].

Project Serve

Project Serve helps connect you to the community through short-term volunteering opportunities, including half-day volunteer events. Project Serve allows you to volunteer with a community organization and challenges you to connect your experience in a tangible way to what you are learning as scholars and as citizens. To find out about the upcoming Project Serve events and other volunteer opportunities sign up for our weekly newsletter [2], or email svc@uoguelph.ca.
