Volunteer Placement Program

The Volunteer Program serves two purposes: to assist students in finding a placement in the community and to meet the volunteer needs of the local community. There are three types of volunteer opportunities: ongoing, one-time, and group projects.

  • Ongoing opportunities are for individuals who are willing to make a commitment to one agency.
  • One-time event(s), such as festivals, cleanups, fund-raisers, etc., are for those who can not make a regular commitment. 
  • Group projects allow students to work together in serving the community. Any agency that has a need that can be met through volunteers should contact the Public Service Center to submit a request.


Any agency that has a need that can be met through volunteers should download the Volunteer Program Request Form (pdf) and submit it to the Public Service Center, 200 Barnes Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853.
