Learn about campus, community agencies: UTSA Volunteer Opportunities Fairs
(Sept. 10, 2012) -- The UTSA Fall Volunteer Opportunities Fairs are a great way for students, faculty and staff to learn from representatives of community agencies about community service and volunteer opportunities, learn about social issues and explore opportunities available in the nonprofit world. The information fairs are:
- Downtown Campus: 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 12, Frio Street Commons
- Main Campus: 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 19, University Center first floor outside the bookstore
Representatives from Camp Camp, KLRN-TV, Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas, San Antonio Youth Literacy, Habitat for Humanity and UTSA VOICES will be at both events, along with reps from more than 30 other agencies and organizations to answer questions about volunteer opportunities. Whether you are looking for a one-time event, an ongoing opportunity or projects for large groups, there will be something for you at the fairs.
