Community Service Weekly

March 24 - March 29, 2026

Explore this week's list of volunteer opportunities as posted on MyWPI.

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. Questions should be directed to the volunteer site directly.  Volunteer events listed below require advanced sign up with the volunteer contact listed in the event description. Good practice is reaching out at least 72 hours in advance.  Note that some volunteer opportunities require advanced background checks.
