Everything from framing to handing out water to the volunteers. Build days are scheduled throughout the semester. For locations, dates and times go to: www.uvu.edu/volunteer/students/

Education First
10-15 volunteers are needed weekly to help kids with their homework, run a daycare, and play games, while their parents attend training sessions. It's a great opportunity to work directly with kids from the community. Volunteers are needed every Wednesday from 6:30pm-8:30pm at Dixon Middle School at 750 W 200 N in Provo.

You can volunteer once without a background check to be sure that it's something in which you would like to get involved. A background check is before your second visit. We suggest bringing your required documents (Social Security card and Driver's License) with you to your first experience with Education First so that your background check will be completed by your second visit if you decide to continue your volunteer service.

Service Expeditions
Instead of sleeping your fall and spring breaks away, join us on a service expedition. More information at: www.uvu.edu/volunteer/students/

The Zone
Stop by The Zone (located in the Sorensen Student Center across from the Bookstore) every Monday from 11:00am to 2:00pm and participate in a variety of 5 minute service projects.
