Volunteer

• Visit Get Connected at volunteer.usm.edu to see local volunteer opportunities and see a list of local organizations. This is a new system and will be growing! 
• Request a one-on-one service consultation to find opportunities and/or information best suited to your specific interests, needs and/or schedule.

Service Hour Reporting

• Report Service Hours at https://volunteer.usm.edu/ (the Get Connected platform) or the Cause Connect app. Use your USM credentials to log in. See detailed instructions
• Check out Report Service Hours to watch a step-by-step on how to report your hours. 
• User groups can be used to track group and individual service hours. Request a User Group. 
• Students who need verification of service hours should still have volunteer supervisors sign a Volunteer Service Log. We "approve" hours that adhere to certain guidelines but we cannot provide proof of service without a volunteer service log. You can upload it to "Files" on the Get Connected platform for safekeeping. 

Recruit Volunteers

If you are looking for volunteers, please use the Get Connected database to create a profile and post OPPORTUNITIES. You can make opportunities visible only to certain groups or to the public. Volunteers can go online or use the Cause Connect app to “search” for your opportunity, "sign up", then “check in/out” to earn and report hours.
