Student Life Volunteer Program
If you are looking to be more connected to the Douglas community, learn invaluable skills, and make an impact on your personal life and your community at large, the Student Life Volunteer Program is the opportunity for you.
As part of this team, you will work with Student Life and other departments to support our programming—Orientation, Welcome Week, Graduation, Services Fair, and more—all of which could not happen without our volunteers’ knowledge and enthusiasm to make the Douglas community thrive.
