ORGANIZATION USE OF ISERVE

WVU organizations and community-based organizations may create an organization profile and post Volunteer Needs on iServe. 

  • The CCE will review and approve Volunteer Needs from non-profit, governmental, public, faith-based, campus, or community-based organizations. 
  • The CCE and iServe will not post Volunteer Needs from private families/individuals. This includes but is not limited to requests for tutors, personal care assistants, nannies, and pet care. 
  • The CCE reserves the right to decline Volunteer Needs that do not meet our guidelines.

Every hour of service is an hour of valuable learning experience that will build community and allow students to grow and explore. With this in mind, opportunities posted on iServe must support the following outcomes: 

  • Creates a sense of belonging in the community. A sense of belonging makes you feel safe and supported and encourages you to care about the people and places around you. 
  • Educates about the differences and similarities of others; expands your worldview. 
  • Improves the quality of life for community residents and meets their stated needs. 
  • Aids in identity exploration, including values, purpose, and career paths. 
  • Increases self-efficacy (i.e., a belief that your voice has value and can make a difference) and self-confidence. 


In addition, approved organizations agree to the following:

  • All opportunities must be of a nature that is appropriate for students, faculty, and/or staff of West Virginia University. Postings that do not meet the requirements of the Center for Community Engagement (CCE) may be removed from the site without notice.

  • All organizations posting on this site agree that any information received regarding a potential participant must not be used for any purposes other than providing further information about the opportunity.

    The CCE reserves the right to remove from this site, sometimes without notice, opportunities that are out of date, vague in description, and postings that conflict with Center or University guidelines and policies. Approval of service opportunities is at the discretion of the Center for Community Engagement at all times and is evaluated on an ongoing basis.

An organization's use of this site is deemed to be their consent to comply with these guidelines. If you have comments or questions, please direct your inquiry to the Center for Community Engagement at iserve@mail.wvu.edu. If you agree to these guidelines you may proceed to use your account.
