Intake for the 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.
Why should you apply to be part of the Student Life Volunteer Program?
Be more connected to the campus community, expand your network, and have an impact on your fellow students’ Douglas experience.
Join a vibrant community of student volunteers and leaders and make lasting friends and connections.
Enhance your leadership/soft skills through our workshops offered by various campus departments and us!
You can be as involved as your schedule allows and there are only a few requirements to join.
Receive certificates of completion/participation (upon request)
