Volunteer Opportunities
Most agencies seeking volunteers are reputable and reliable, but the School of Social Work is not in a position to guarantee the professional standing of individual agencies, companies or other organizations posting volunteer opportunity notices. Volunteers should research potential agencies before committing to the agency.
Agencies/Organizations: if you would like us to post your volunteer opportunity, send it to: ssw@missouri.edu.
