Wanted: Local Nonprofit Organizations in Need of Volunteers

The University of Scranton’s Center for Service and Social Justice will hold its annual fair for local nonprofit organizations in need of volunteers on Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., on campus.

The center informs students and student clubs interested in service projects of volunteer opportunities that exist at local organizations. More than 750 students and 60 nonprofit organizations participated in last year’s fair.

Each year more than 2,800 University students perform well over 170,000 service hours, much of it through local organizations. The University of Scranton has been nationally recognized for its service efforts and has been named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

For more information or to register your nonprofit organization for the fair, email ellen.judge@scranton.edu or call 570-941-7429. The registration deadline to participate is Tuesday, Sept. 3.
