How do I get started?
It's easy! Simply download our Volunteering Registration Form, fill it out, and bring it to the Student Life office in Bldg 19, Rm 106.

Once we process your registration information, you will receive an introduction letter directed to the agency for which you wish to volunteer. The agency will interview you. If there is a mutual agreement based on a matching skill set, your next step will be to download and fill out the Volunteering Log Sheet. This should be kept with you during the duration of your volunteering to log your hours. The agency will sign it at the end of each session to verify the hours.

Finally, at the end of you volunteer experience, you will need to turn in your log sheet. This is to alow the Agency to verify that you have completed your volunteerism committment. That form will be forwarded to the transcript office to have your earned volunteer hours added to your transcript.

If you have additional questions, please contact the volunteer coordinators at (954) 201-6293 or at oval@broward.edu.
