Finding a Volunteer Need
There are hundreds of needs on iServe, so finding what you want can take some time if you don't know what to look for. The first step of the process is to sign in using your WVU credentials and select "VOLUNTEER NEEDS" from the sidebar on the left. From here you can see all current volunteer activities, or narrow them down via:
SEARCH BY: Use keywords to find a specific need. (Example: "trail; restock; pantry")
SORT BY: Newest/Oldest/Alphabetically/Soonest Occuring
FILTER BY: Looking for a specific area of interest, location, or something that's family friendly? Use this to narrow results! (Example: "Interest > Animals")
Alternatively, you can:
Check out our calendar to find one-time volunteer needs.
