For Community Organizations
Promoting Volunteer Opportunities to UNO Students
Whether you're planning a one-time event or have ongoing needs, we welcome you to share your volunteer opportunities to help us connect students with meaningful ways to get involved in the community. Please submit these opportunities using our online form.
We also recommend posting volunteer opportunities on UNO's Handshake platform and SHAREomaha.org for broader visibility among students and community members.
We will do our best to promote your opportunities through our communication channels, time and details permitting.
Volunteers will sign up through your organization’s process, and your team will serve as the main point of contact for all volunteer-related communication and coordination.

Civic Engagement
Civic Engagement allows students to address our society's social and cultural issues. UNO has a long history of being a top university for voter engagement. Beyond this, students have opportunities to have meaningful dialogue on what it means to advocate, how government operates, and opportunities to engage in civic learning, such as the annual “I Love NU Day” at the Nebraska state capitol.
