Communication and feedback are an important part of our process. Agency staff supervising our students’ volunteer hours are encouraged to communicate with them the same as they would a regular staff member regarding schedule, project needs and general daily information. Any disciplinary matters should be brought to the attention of the Center for Service Director immediately so we may work with the agency to resolve the situation, or terminate the placement if necessary.

The CFS will respond to your project request via email. We will share your opportunity using various outlets and notify you if we have a student or group interested in helping you out.

Go to our website https://www.missouriwestern.edu/center-for-service/ and select Submit a Project under the For Partners tab. Once information has been submitted, a representative from the CFS will contact you with more information.

Under the For Partners tab on the CFS website, select Submit a Project. First time users will need to create a new account. This should be created by the project coordinator or designated representative in the organization that will be the main contact for the service projects. Unless specified within the project form, all contact from Center for Service will be communicated to the registrant.

No, not directly. If your for-profit organization is hosting an event that is supporting the community at-large, we want to help!

Please reach out to the Center for Service at your convenience.

Service hours begin as soon as students arrive at the project site and have checked in with the program coordinator.

We recommend agencies create a sign up form using a free program such as Signup Genius, or in the very least a Google Form. The CFS can share this sign up link across our channels and you will receive immediate notification when someone signs up. This allows you to capture contact info and directly send communications to your volunteers such as location, start time, event cancellation or other urgent notifications.

Please contact the CFS right away so we can inform any students who have signed up to let them know of the change.

If you have a special request, contact the Center for Service.

You may request as many students as you need for the project! There is no limit. Students will choose service opportunities, so project descriptions help guide them to your project.

Please include the information in the project description so that information can be conveyed to the students when choosing their project.

Submit a form for each department or project within the organization. This will be beneficial if there are different project coordinators.
