Volunteer Resources for Agencies

This page contains a variety of resources to help agencies recruit volunteers.

Partner with VSB

Register online if your agency would like to partner with VSB. Partnering with VSB has many benefits. Your agency can be a future site for a Service Saturday or Into The Streets volunteer project. If you are in desparate need of volunteers, you can post you volunteer opportunities on this website. Via awareness programs, your agency can work with VSB on educating the Treasure Valley Community about local community issues, such as poverty, the environment, education, heathcare, etc. All of these efforts will hopefully lead to more volunteers volunteering for your agency.

Partner with Service-Learning Program

VSB works closely with the Service-Learning Program in providing community service opportunities for Service-Learning students in classes that have a service-learning component.

The Service Learning Program fosters active citizenship and enhances student learning through academically-based community service (Service-Learning). Service-Learning is a teaching strategy that integrates course content with relevant community service. Through community service projects, assignments, and class discussions, students critically reflect on the service in order to increase their understanding of course content, gain a broader appreciation of the discipline, and enhance their sense of civic responsibility.If your agency is interested in partnering with the Service-Learning Program, check out servicelearning.boisestate.edu.
Questions? Contact Kara Brascia at (208) 426-2380 or karabrascia@boisestate.edu.

Partner with United Way of Treasure Valley Volunteer Center

VSB also works closely with the United Way Volunteer Center in coordinating programs such as the Volunteer Expo.The United Way Volunteer Center is a statewide initiative that facilitates volunteerism and community service by matching volunteers with service projects in their communities. As the "Give Help" component of 211 Idaho, callers dialing 211 looking for ways to engage in the community are transferred to the Volunteer Center where they are connected with an opportunity that matches their interests, skills and availability. Volunteers can also access opportunities through a web-based database, and can sign up for automatic notification of new opportunities. The service is free for volunteers.

If your agency is in need of volunteers, consider posting your volunteer opportunities by partnering with the United Way of Treasure Valley Volunteer Center at www.volunteersolutions.org/uwtv/agency.
