Post an Opportunity
Student Leadership and Civic Engagement works to connect UIC students with opportunities to contribute to the local community. We invite community organizations to utilize our platform to recruit UIC volunteers. There are currently over 200 Chicagoland community agency profiles on our UIC Service Portal.
We have partnered with UIC Connection to offer a platform for agencies to post volunteer opportunities, and for students to find and sign up for those opportunities. We’re excited about the many great functions of the platform and hope it will support your community organization in connecting with UIC volunteers.
