Be a Bronco Volunteer

Bronco Volunteer

Bronco Volunteer is a volunteer referral matching service where we connect students, faculty and staff with community organizations in the hopes that they will be involved in civic engagement activities in the community around them.

Students volunteer their own time or with a club and do not get paid for their service.  The service takes place separate from a class.  The community service site informs the students of their volunteer duties and tasks.  The service hours can be as few as a weekend beach clean-up to mentoring youth for and entire year in an aftershchool program.  The biggest plus is that students can include this work on their resumes.

Becoming a Partner

The Center for Community Engagement (CCE) serves to create, maintain and sustain partnerships with our local, regional and global community.  We look forward to partnering with you to enhance the experience of students in their daily lives.To initiate a partnership with the Bronco Volunteer Program, the following criteria are required:

  • Site must maintain a current non-profit 501c(3) status, be a government agency or school district
  • Have a physical location or main office
  • Provide on-site supervision of students
  • Have a valid website

Please note that once you meet the criteria, we may conduct a site visit to ensure the safety of our students.  Sites should not provide opportunities that have students prophesying or promoting a particular religious doctrine or political candidate or they risk be removed as a partnership site.  We also highly encourage that you provide a training or orientation to all students who choose your site for their service.
