Volunteer & Mentoring Opportunities

Volunteer

Volunteering demonstrates your interest in helping others with no expectation of return. Volunteering can give rise to a well-rounded individual by providing the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of people. Volunteer opportunities need not be medical-related. Choose a volunteer schedule that allows you to remain focused on academic achievement. Some students prefer weekly or monthly involvement, while others concentrate on volunteer work during the summer.

Take a look below at some volunteer opportunities that UNO Pre-Health students often utilize. Some of these organizations may not be actively recruiting volunteers at this time, so we encourage you to reach out to see if there are any open opportunities.
