Seaching for volunteer opportunities by calendar on MyWPI

Did you know that you have search for events on MyWPI (including service events) by calendar view?  Select "Events" along the top of your MyWPI homescreen and then select "Calendar View", a green button on the upper right side of the events list.

You can also add the service event to your Outlook Calendar directly by RSVPing on MyWPI. An important note: RSVPing is NOT the same as confirming your participation in the event -- you should still refer to the registration directions in the event listing to register to volunteer.

Sign up to volunteer

Note that events and availability change daily and the events included below are updated as of this email. A full list of service events can be found on the Student Activities Portal on MyWPI.

Please register in advance with the site directly.

Good practice is reaching out at least 72 hours in advance.  Note that some volunteer opportunities require advanced background checks.

Big Brother's Big Sister's Volunteering Opportunity 

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Mass and MetroWest serves children and young adults who want and need a mentor in their lives. In our site-based programs, BBBS matches Littles between the ages of 8-16 with Bigs in a one-to-one, life-changing friendship. With a Big in their life, children and young adults in the program are empowered to ignite their potential as they grow in their self-esteem and develop a lifelong friendship with their Big. We ask for a commitment of at least 1 school year matched with your Little. 

At WPI, Bigs are paired with elementary school Littles at Elm Park Community School.

• Bigs meet once a week for an hour during your Little's lunch/recess block
• Site-based program runs synchronously with the WPI and Elm Park School year
• Spend time playing games, offering homework help, and helping your Little work towards their goals.
