Volunteer Fair
VolunteerUT hosts the annual Volunteer Fair at the beginning of the school year, inviting dozens of organizations from the greater Austin area to campus to share volunteer opportunities with students. Additionally, we host annual days of service including our largest event, The Project.
GivePulse Support
The VolunteerUT team has created user guides to help students, faculty, staff, and our community partners learn how to use GivePulse. In addition to the guides below, we offer monthly trainings to faculty and nonprofits as well as by appointment for student groups.
