Greetings Servicers!
We recently have been working hard to update our homepage for you, included is our latest news feed which you can subscribe to through a link at the bottom, a current opportunities page and our first Volunteer Spotlight featuring our student AmeriCorps Service Leader Jamison Wiggins! Take a look and let us know what you think!
And have you volunteered this past semester? Please submit your hours to us through this handy dandy form so we can include you in our annual report. This report will be shared with the University and community to show just how much USM has volunteered this past year. We appreciate greatly your responses.
