Volunteer Up!

Volunteer Up is an initiative to create a one-stop location centralized at Richmond Community College for community members interested in volunteering. Volunteer Up logo and image

WHY?

Local organizations are in dire need of local volunteers but there is no coordinated place for volunteer requests within Richmond and Scotland counties. PLUS volunteers will gain valuable work experience and professional references.

WHERE?

Richmond Community College now serves as a centralized hub for connecting volunteers with community partners. These partners include:

Senior Centers
Local Schools
Hospice
Humane Society/Animal Shelters
Hospitals
Habitat for Humanity
United Way
Transitional Housing Programs
4-H Programs
After-school Programs
Food Pantries
Parks & Recreation
American Red Cross
Other Non-profits

HOW?

Through RichmondCC's Career Coach online platform, agencies can create volunteer listings. Volunteers can search the listings or inquire through RichmondCC's Career & Transfer Advising Center located at the Hamlet and Scotland County Campus.

NEED HELP?

If you need help navigating the Career Coach platform, contact Richmond Community College at (910) 410-1700.
