How can you help?


Contact us to help in one, or maybe several of these organizations. If you have a special organization in mind that is not on the list, please let us know. Become a team leader or take some time from your schedules to make a difference in our community and in the lives of many who need us. These experiences can have a tremendous impact on the organizations you work with. Voluteering also helps you differentiate yourself with practical, real-world experience in preparation for your business careers!
To volunteer, please contact Nory Jones.

Current Activities:

Bangor Humane Society: We are working on fund-raising events to help support the many animals that are being dropped off due to the economic crisis. You are also always welcome to volunteer at the shelter working with the animals.

Bangor Troop Greeters: Join us at the Bangor Intl Airport to greet troops as they prepare to leave for Iraq or Afghanistan or welcome them back home... just a simple act of kindness goes a long way!

Habitat for Humanity: The UMaine Habitat for Humanity group represents students from across the University who have created a consortium to help local people with decent, affordable housing. They have just completed a "sleep-out" where they raised money by sleeping outside for 3 nights to raise awareness of homelessness. They also just completed a concert to raise money for Habitat and are currently working with a consortium of different groups across campus to increase awareness of community outreach.

Spruce Run: Contact us for training or volunteer to prevent domestice violence!
