Be a Volunteer
Looking for a way to give back to our community and help our students? Volunteer to help welcome our new students, move our students in, and orient them to campus at the start of the fall semester!
Our goal is to create opportunities for new students to engage with each other and the campus community, help students understand academic requirements and campus resources, and most importantly, welcome students into the Berkeley community.
Much of our success is attributed to the participation and collaboration of our campus community: faculty and staff, as well as continuing students.
How to Volunteer
No matter how much time you have or what level of involvement you can do, we welcome and appreciate your volunteering with us.
