Volunteer Opportunities

Welcome Spartans! The Center for Community Engaged Learning (CCEL) offers a variety of community-engaged learning opportunities throughout Greater Lansing. Volunteering is a crucial part of the Spartan Experience and a great way to build connections and engage with the local community. 

 

Welcome to SpartansVolunteer!

Getting involved with your local community is a great way to meet new people, build new skills, and make a difference in people's lives. We have created an online platform where you can learn about local non-profits and how you might help them achieve their mission.  SpartansVolunteer is MSU’s online platform where you can easily find and register for opportunities that match your interests and schedule.

Here’s How to Get Started:

1. Access your MSU Account

  • Visit SpartansVolunteer 
  • Click on Green "LOGIN" on the toolbar
  • Click on "MSU STUDENTS LOGIN HERE"

2. Search for Opportunities
Once logged in, you can search for volunteer roles based on your interests, skills, or availability. Use filters like location, time commitment, and focus area (e.g., education, environment, health) to find opportunities that are right for you.

3. Read Position Descriptions
Take time to read through the position descriptions to understand what’s expected, including the type of service, time requirements, and any specific qualifications.

4. Apply or Register
Once you find an opportunity that fits your interests, you can apply or register directly through the platform. Some opportunities may require additional steps like filling out a separate application or attending an orientation, so be sure to follow any additional instructions.

5. Track Your Service Hours
SpartansVolunteer also helps you keep track of your volunteer hours, which is great for building your resume or fulfilling any service-learning requirements for classes.

Need Help?
If you have any questions or need assistance with the platform, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Center for Community Engaged Learning at communityengagedlearning@vps.msu.edu.
