UNI Volunteer Tuesdays

The University of Northern Iowa’s Student Leadership Center has partnered with the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley to promote Volunteer Tuesdays! Each Tuesday in the month of October, 40 students take the “Volunteer Bus” to a variety of sites throughout the Cedar Valley to volunteer.

The “Volunteer Bus” departs campus two times each Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Each student receives beverages and snacks and a t-shirt. Registration will begin September 27 for the following opportunities:

These planned volunteer outings for students have been so successful the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley is recruiting sites for the month of November. If your organization is interested in participating, please contact Lauren Finke at 272-2087 or Lauren_Finke@vccv.org.
