Volunteering
UC’s Volunteer Portal is a resource for both students and employees to find volunteer opportunities across Cincinnati. The Volunteer Portal also allows volunteers to log their service hours, which can then be shared with the Scholarship and New Student Financial Aid Center for the renewal of certain scholarships.
Visit the Center for Community Engagement website to view volunteer opportunities on and off campus.
