5 Volunteer Opportunities in Morgantown to Check Out

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

1. Bake for the Ronald McDonald House! Guests and families will get to enjoy your delicious home-made goodies, and you’ll get to work on that new recipe you saw on Pinterest.

 

2. If you love the WVU Core Arboretum, then help keep it beautiful! Each Wednesday you can volunteer from 4-7 with people who enjoy nature as much as you. And, if you haven’t been there yet it’s a great excuse to go!

3. Become a member of the Rosenbaum Family House Dinner crew. You can help prepare and serve meals to guests. Another event to work on your cooking skills and do something good.

4. Do you love animals? Do you think adopting a pet is the best thing anyone can do? Then you should think about volunteering at pet adoption events through Homeward Bound WV. They are held at Pet Valu and Pet Co. Help man’s best friend out!

5. Every single home football game, WVU athletics is looking for volunteers for Mountaineers Recycle, the WVU Football Gameday Recycling Programs. It’s an easy job, and you have to be there 3 hours before kickoff, and your shift is over before the game starts. But hey, you get a free t-shirt, pizza, and the feeling that you’re helping the environment!

 

All of these awesome volunteer opportunities and more are available on iserve.wvu.edu so go check it out!
