"The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas."
-George Santayana Post volunteer opportunities in the UT Volunteer databaseHundreds of UT students, staff and faculty in search of service events access the database on a daily basis. We encourage you to register your organization and post your volunteer opportunity! Get involved with our Service Learning ProgramService Learning integrates volunteer community service and guided reflection into the academic curriculum to enhance and enrich student learning while meeting a community need. Service learning volunteers are a wonderful resource for community agencies, but also are not your "typical" volunteers. Students will have specific learning objectives related to the focus of the class they are enrolled in. The agency supervisor and the service learning student should complete a service learning contract to clarify the service learning objectives, duties, and purpose. This document will be shared with the faculty member teaching the service learning class. In this way expectations are clear for all involved.
