Community Organizations

One-time service projects are opportunities to serve that do not require an ongoing commitment and typically require little to no training. One-time service projects are often great for large groups but can be for individuals as well. Examples of One-time service projects are: painting a room or building, trash and litter control, preparing cards or crafts for hospital patients, sorting and organizing donations, helping with a special event, etc.

To recruit volunteers for a one-time service project, complete our Opportunity Request form or email WilksInstitute@MiamiOH.edu.

Ongoing service projects require an ongoing commitment from volunteers. This could be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Ongoing service projects usually require training and, depending on the population you serve, may require a background check. Examples of ongoing service projects are: serving as shopping assistants in a choice pantry, assisting with client intake, providing childcare, tutoring adults in GED classes, etc.

To recruit volunteers for an ongoing service project, visit our ComMUnity Connect site or email WilksInstitute@MiamiOH.edu.

Miami students are here to learn both inside and outside of the classroom. We regularly host leadership, service, civic engagement, and personal development workshops. These are opportunities for those interested to plan a talk or presentation for a classroom size audience. If you would like to come tell the students about your projects or initiatives, this might be a great fit. You may also want to host a talk about something you are knowledgeable and passionate about. If you would like to plan something like this, please email WilksInstitute@MiamiOH.edu. Our Ambassadors can work with you to plan and promote your workshop.
