Summer Volunteer Opportunities

Looking for a service project this summer?  Check out the GSCSC's Service Announcements page as well as HumanCorps' database of volunteer opportunities.  If you're a GSCSC member and want to arrange a carpool to/from a service project, post an announcement on the SmartSite.

WoWSA 2008

Registration for the Week of Welcome Service Activity (WoWSA) is now open!  WoWSA and all other Week of Orientation and Welcome (WOW) events are open to new graduate students, continuing graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff.  Sign up at the WOW website.  Be sure to check the WoWSA box; we are listed under "Saturday" because the volunteer appreciation lunch will be that day.  However, service projects will take place every day from September 17-20, so there's sure to be a project that will fit your schedule.  Contact the WoWSA Event Directors at wowsa-directors at-ucdavis.edu if you have any questions.  Keep track of all the WoWSA developments here.

Ongoing Online Service Opportunity
Our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity (Habitat for Humanity of Yolo County) is registered with GoodSearch - a Yahoo!-based search engine that generates a donation for a charity every time you do a search.  To credit your searches to Habitat for Humanity, simply follow this link.  Then, search for whatever else you want!  It's a quick, easy way to support this group with much-needed funding.  Each search generates 1 cent for the organization, but a lot of people doing a lot of searching makes the totals add up quickly.
