Becoming a volunteer:

MSU students are to apply through Community Engaged Learning.

  • All other prospective volunteers must complete the Volunteer Application Form, authorize a background check providing references.
  • Once your completed application and references have been received, your application is processed. If it is determined that we are able to match your skills and availability with our volunteer needs, you will be contacted to schedule a placement orientation.
  • During the orientation, the Volunteer Coordinator discusses your motivation for volunteering, your past volunteer and work experience and your areas of interest for volunteer service and will assist you in selecting a volunteer placement.
  • All volunteers must attend orientation and have a TB test prior to becoming a volunteer. Training is provided for each placement area.

If you have any questions, or desire additional information, please contact the Volunteer Services Office at 517-975-6900.
