This is for a volunteer income tax preparer position. We have locations in Morgantown, Fairmont, Preston County, Clarksburg and several other locations throughout the state. We prepare basic income taxes for low to moderate income families.

It can be in person or remote. It is practical experience preparing taxes. You will learn about basic income tax preparation during the course of this.

This event is our yearly fundraiser for our organization. We will have volunteers in multiple areas throughout the entire building.  We will need help with walking the event and selling raffle tickets, as well as being stationed at tables, possibly selling apparel.  We also understand that some may not feel comfortable around a large group of people.  We can reassign them to our small snack and coffee area, since those items need to be restocked.  Our bash is always catered, so no volunteers have to worry about handling food.  This is now our 5th year of doing this, and the crowds have grown every year.  We could be looking at 575-700 guests this year.  I would like to include that we obviously know that most of the floor raffle games are all different, and can be confusing.  We will be on the floor as well, and are always available to answer any questions that may come up.

Looking for experienced or inexperienced bike mechanics, anyone willing to learn or just help out and arrange things, get parts, clean bikes, general help.

A Poverty Simulation is a true-to-life role-playing experience for groups and organizations to experience first-hand the challenges, decisions, and life of someone in poverty. We are looking for volunteers who can help act out various institutions that groups and organizations will interact with during the simulation. 

Groups will be faced with daily decisions ranging from how to get the kids to school on time, find or maintain employment, visit the assistance office or church, pay your bills, and keep a roof over your head...all in the span of a few hours. Each 15 minute period of time accounts for exactly one week, and within that week and the three that follow, groups will learn what poverty really looks like and how it can impact every daily decision to be made. 

Poverty Simulations are thought provoking and lead to powerful conversations, and they help us all realize that it takes a community to end poverty.

Volunteers are needed to help with the following parts of the poverty simulation: portraying a community service entity. Our simulations portray people interacting with housing agencies, financial institutions, schools, community health centers, and infrastructure providers. Our volunteer actors will be briefed on their role in the hour prior to the event with instructions on how to effectively act out their part. 

Your time commitment for this opportunity is 3 hours. All simulations will occur at the WVU Health Sciences Center.  More information will be provided to you via email 1 week prior to the simulation. We thank you in advance for your time and commitment!

We need your help with putting on a series of trail races in Coopers Rock Forrest on Saturday Oct. 11th! You can help with trail marking and directing runners, trail clean-up, water stations, parking, finish line help, and more! Shifts available starting at 6:30 am through 3:00 pm

Classroom Assistant

The Country Roads classroom is a vitally important place for our students. What happens in the classroom sets the foundation for our student education and development as independent individuals. Classroom Assistants are an invaluable resource to our students and educational specialists. Classroom Assistant responsibilities include: helping instructors with group activities, providing one-on-one classroom instruction to certain students, assisting students in completing in-class assignments/activities, and assisting students with in-class organization and time management.

Classroom peers may also assist Country Roads students with their homework and after-class activities. Study Hall is scheduled for Thursday 5:30-6:30 pm in Lincoln Hall; however, students have assignments due throughout the week and may benefit from working with a peer mentor. 

Activity Peer

The objective of the Activity Peer is to help facilitate the Country Roads student's understanding and participation in regular campus activities. There are many options available on campus such as concerts or plays at the Creative Arts Center, various sporting events, or different interest groups available that would be meaningful to the students.

On or off-campus clubs and organizations such as fraternities or sororities, student government, and community projects are some more great ways for students to get involved. Many of our students already play musical instruments and have other skills and abilities they want to be able to share. This is a great opportunity for relationships to begin, and for social skills to be modeled and learned. Students may have particular interests or may be completely open to trying new things!

Lunch or Dinner Peer

Eating with peers is always a welcomed activity, prompting relationships to occur spontaneously. This is a good chance for our students to be part of a “real college experience.” Country Roads students will have meal plans and will eat lunch and dinner on campus in the Towers Dining. Country Roads students, individually or in a small groups, are encouraged to adopt a meal on a particular day of the week to serve as lunch or dinner buddies for one or both of these meals.

If interested, please email Dr. Lesley Cottrell at  lcottrell@hsc.wvu.edu. 

The CED serves as a bridge between the university and community to meet the needs of people with disabilities through research, education and service. To help meet these needs the CED educates students, families and professionals on best practices. Education and training is provided through one on one consultations, group trainings, academic coursework and mentoring.

The CED works to train students who will be working in the field of disabilities or health related careers to build a workforce that is knowledgeable about how best to serve individuals with disabilities and their families. Providing continuing education to those already in the workforce is equally important and the CED provides many professional development opportunities across the state.

The CED and many of its programs have training components related to their area of expertise. Visit the Training page linked below to learn more: https://cedwvu.org/education/

These training opportunities could be counted as service hours if approved before the training event. 

Contact Dr. Lesley Cottrell at lcottrell@hsc.wvu.edu if interested in assisting or participating in a training.

Textbooks are essential for academic success but can be prohibitively expensive for many WVU students.

Recognizing this challenge, the WVU Libraries is partnering with the Student Government Association (SGA) to expand the collection of textbooks available for checkout. By donating textbooks you no longer need, you can help your fellow students while also earning one service hour per textbook donated (current editions less than 5 years old).

When donating textbooks, sign up via iServe and then fill out this form.

Note: In negotiation with supervisor, shifts and amount of time can be customized and are flexible

Who we are: The lounge is a safe space for students, by students. It aims to be a place where students can access various mental health and well being resources while also relaxing and having fun.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Morgantown & Pittsburgh collected pop tabs annually to support their mission, a world where all children have access to medical care, and pledge never to turn a family away who cannot afford to stay. Pop tabs annually generate between $5000-$8000 for RMHC! The tabs are collected and recycled into cash!

WVU is stepping up to collect tabs campus-wide and support our local RMHC, which is located directly next to the Health Sciences Campus & WVU Hospitals.

RMHC ensures that families are supported and actively involved in their children’s medical care. RMHC's are located near top children’s hospitals, allowing parents who are far from home to stay close to their hospitalized child and benefit from the comforts of home without incurring hotel and food costs. 90% of top children’s hospitals worldwide are home to at least one RMHC core program. RMHC provides more than 2.2 million overnight stays annually, helping families save nearly over $611 million in lodging and meal expenses.

Every sandwich-sized plastic bag filled with tabs = 30 minutes of service. A gallon plastic bag filled with tabs = 5 hours of service! There are collection bins in the Mountainlair’s Vandalia Lounge, Rec Center lobby and one in the Health Sciences Center (in the hallway near chick fi la.)

Students must submit their hours to this iServe inactive and send a photograph of their collected tabs to receive service hours donations. To verify your service hours, students must submit a picture of their donated tabs before placing them in the respective bin.

The Moonlight Market is an artisan night market held under and around the pavilion on Spruce Street. We need volunteers to work in shifts to (1) help set up from 1-3:30pm, (2) during the event for various tasks from 4-9pm and to help tear down and pack up (8:45-10pm). We have had many repeat volunteers because they enjoy their experience so much.

Install reflective dots to prevent bird strikes on windows.   Windows are the biggest killer of birds in North America.

Collisions are most commonly caused by the reflective characteristics of glass. Because the outside of glass reflects the environment around it, birds do not recognize it as a barrier. The birds see the reflected environment, such as trees and sky, and collide with the glass assuming it is a clear flight path. Any window, large or small can be a killer.  CollidEscape is applied to the outside of a window so as to disrupt the reflection off the outside surface that birds perceive as a continuation of their environment.

Birds are frequently killed in these collisions or are stunned, only to die of internal injuries later. It is estimated that one billion birds die as a result of window collisions every year in the United States alone.

Reduce collisions with a CollidEscape High-Performance product.
