If you are a 501c3 and want to advertise your opportunity to USM and community volunteers, you should create an agency profile and post volunteer opportunities on United Way's Get Connected page - this information will be visible to both USM and the general community.
If you are not a 501c3 or want to only publicize to USM students (not community members), you will use CCE's Get Connected page, called Volunteer USM. You can request that CCE staff create profiles, update information, and post opportunities for you by submitting this form: https://usmforms.formstack.com/forms/service
