Join us for an Outdoor Cleanup Day at the Monongalia County Child Advocacy Center on Saturday, September 19, 2026 from 10am-12pm.

Volunteers will welcome international students to the Homestart Closet find and choose household items to help them get settled into their new dorms or homes.

On September 24th, the Monongalia County Quick Response Team will participate in the nationwide "Save a Life: Free Naloxone Day" event to provide free naloxone and naloxone training. The Monongalia County QRT is currently recruiting volunteers for the nine locations that they'll set up around the county. Naloxone training and other necessary information will be provided to volunteers prior to the event. Volunteers will also receive a Mothman T-shirt designed by a local artist. Once you sign up, you'll receive an email asking which location you would like to volunteer at and your shirt size. If you have additional questions, please reach out to Brittany Irick at Brittany.D.Irick@wv.gov

MESH (Mentoring and Educational Support Hub) is a student-led tutoring initiative that connects WVU graduate student volunteers with middle and high school students who can benefit from additional academic support.

We are recruiting volunteer tutors to support students at the Monongalia County Youth Reporting Center (YRC) in Morgantown. Tutors may assist students in subjects that align with their knowledge and experience, including mathematics, science, engineering, English, writing, social studies, and other middle- and high-school subjects.

Tutoring sessions are held Monday through Friday from 3:00–5:00 p.m. Volunteers are not expected to participate every day and may select the weekday(s) that fit their schedules. Even volunteering for one afternoon per week can provide valuable consistency and academic support for participating students.

MESH tutors help students:

Understand course material and complete academic work

Practice problem-solving and study skills

Prepare for assignments and assessments

Build academic confidence and positive learning habits

Before working directly with youth participants, volunteers must complete all required onboarding and receive clearance. This includes WVU Youth Protection training, the required YRC background check, and MESH orientation. Completing an iServe response does not by itself authorize a volunteer to begin tutoring.

Tutors are expected to follow MESH, YRC, and applicable WVU youth-safety requirements, including maintaining appropriate professional boundaries, meeting supervision requirements, maintaining confidentiality, adhering to approved communication practices, and reporting attendance and hours. MESH's existing operating model similarly requires tutors to complete authorization and onboarding before direct contact with youth.

Who should volunteer?
WVU graduate students from all academic disciplines are encouraged to participate. Prior formal tutoring experience is helpful but not required. We are especially looking for volunteers who are dependable, patient, encouraging, and comfortable helping middle and high school students learn.

Our 6th annual Veterans Bash will take place on October 3rd at Mylan Park.  This year, we are going to bring the volunteers in at 9 am.  The doors will open at 11 am, and the main drawings will start at 1 pm.  The bash is also an event where multiple raffles will be going on at the same time.  Some volunteers will be responsible for restocking items, while the majority will be on the floor selling chances for various games throughout the event. We bring everyone in early so that all volunteers receive clear direction and can ask any questions they may have about their assigned tasks. The event will be catered, so the only tasks are to refill the coffee pots, drink bins, and snacks.  All food and drink are provided for volunteers.  Volunteers are also welcome to work as many hours as they like, because the bash goes until 6 pm.  We don't expect everyone to work the entire day; we prefer that the volunteers do at least 4 hours.  If some volunteers would prefer to come in the afternoon, we can accommodate them as well.

We will be hosting our annual Veterans Bash at Mylan Park on Saturday, October 3rd.  We are requesting 5 volunteers to help us with setting up the day before, on October 2nd from 3 pm to 6 pm.  This will include hanging promotional signage, stocking the drink and snack areas, and rearranging a few of the tables.

The ride will have a registration process from 10 am to noon.  A team will be needed to assist with setup for this.  It will consist of setting up tables, chairs, a few portable canopies, and loading bins with drinks.  The registration will be divided into stations, so the supplies will need to be in place before the rider's arrival.  We are requesting everyone to be there by 9 am that morning.  The bike send-off will happen shortly after everyone has gone through registration.  After the bikes leave, we help Triple S break down the setup, which takes about an hour.

We’d love to welcome you as a volunteer!

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.
