Volunteer Placement Database

University of California at Berkeley - CA, California

Over 300 community organizations, government offices, and local schools recruit volunteers through the Cal Corps Public Service Center Volunteer Placement Database, an all online volunteer recruiting system. Volunteer opportunities are listed according to agency identifier (ie faith-based, ethnic-specific, housing, etc.). The database is self-selective, allowing students, faculty, and staff to make personal contacts with agencies or to seek advising through Cal Corps’ advising network. The back-end database allows for easy access to agency information and searches to meet the needs of service-learning faculty and special service programs conducted by the campus.

My own service-learning experience helped me to change my undergraduate major to social work. As a student worker with the program, I gained so many skills that helped me to be successful as a social worker and change agent after graduation. Now I help student workers develop these same skills and find the same passion for creating positive change that I have felt."
