Recruitment and Promotion

Making Connections

You can make connections and promote your service opportunities, whether for course credit (pending faculty approval) or your regular volunteer positions (not for course credit), with Humboldt students and faculty in a number of ways.

DEVELOP Promotional Materials:

• Position descriptions help recruit students, promote your opportunities, facilitate screening, and outline expectations.
• Consider creating virtual service opportunities for students who live out of the area, lack transportation or otherwise need accommodations. Find Virtual Service Ideas here.
• Create an eye-catching flyer with basic service positions and contact information.
• Create an email announcement providing information on your service or project needs and attach position descriptions or flyers.
• Integrate information on your website about your service opportunities.

SHARE your promotional material and opportunities widely:

• The Center for Community Based Learning can share your opportunities with faculty and staff. Ask to be placed on a community partner email list - event invitations and surveys are sent each semester for community partners to share current service opportunities with upcoming course faculty/students.
• Table at annual Volunteer Fairs and other community partner outreach events.
• Connect with faculty: research academic department websites for faculty and programs addressing your field of service, visit classes, or serve on panels to share information about your organization.
