Network, you will have access to
our huge database of volunteer
gigs specifically for students.
With so many unique
opportunities at your fingertips
and lots of ways to search for
your interests, you'll be sure
to find a perfect match. Plus,
it's totally free to be a
member, so
sign up today and get
involved!
If you're not convinced already,
here are 5 Reasons to Volunteer:
- Everybody's doing it-not
to pressure you or anything,
but almost 83 percent of high
school seniors in 2001 said
they volunteered before
college. Plus, more and more
schools are requiring
community service in order to
graduate. So, whether you're
forced to or whether you want
to (or both), do what's cool
(and good) and volunteer.
- It's fun-believe it
or not, helping others can be
tons of fun, especially if you
do it with your friends. You
can search our network for
group opportunities and for
work that you think is cool,
so you'll definitely find a
fun place to volunteer.
- Make new connections-when
you volunteer, you'll meet
lots of interesting people who
can be fun new friends and
great resources for your
future. Also, volunteering can
help you think about your own
future-you can check out
possible college study options
and even careers.
- Get into college-everyone
knows that college is now more
competitive than ever. Every
school loves to see students
who take initiative and are
involved in their community,
specifically students who
volunteer. So, even if you
think you have better things
to do, help others and it will
help you.
- Give back-we've
given you four others, but
this is the reason to
volunteer. Make your community
a better place. Volunteer.
Make a difference.
Organizations
Every nonprofit organization can
benefit from our services.
Posting opportunities on our
site is an innovative way to
save time and effort while
finding students to fill
volunteer positions. Our
searchable database allows
students to find opportunities
that they are interested in,
which brings excited and
dedicated student volunteers to
each organization. Through the
Student Volunteer Network,
organizations can increase the
efficiency of finding volunteers
while creating meaningful
relationships with volunteers.
According to a report by
Independent Sector and Youth
Service America, people who
begin volunteering at a young
age are twice as likely to
volunteer as adults. By
supporting student volunteers
now, you are helping to
cultivate a new, dedicated
generation of volunteers and
philanthropists. Furthermore,
all services provided by SVN are
completely free of charge,
allowing all organizations to
take advantage of our resources.

requirements for students or
