The Community Service Resource Center

Welcome Organizations!

At the Community Service Resource Center (CSRC) our mission is to connect students, staff, faculty and community members with organizations in need of volunteers. Opportunities can range from a one-time event to long-term commitments and the possibilies are endless!

Looking to publicize your event or organization? Need volunteers?


* There are five ways to publicize your event or organization.
1. Send a message on our weekly listerv which currently serves nearly 5,000 students/staff/faculty. For information on how to create a message announcement, please see below.

2. Post an announcement on our website. All messages sent on our listserv are automatically posted on our website as well. Check the 'Volunteers' link on our homepage to view a list of current volunteer opportunities.

3. Add your event to our online calendar. Please refer to the "Calendar" link on the right hand side.

4. If you are not already in our database of non-profit agencies, join today! We currently host nearly 500 organizations, which serves as a valuable resource to students/staff/faculty interested in community service. To sign-up on our database, please contact us at communityservice@ucdavis.edu

5. Send us paper information about your organization. Our office is located on the central campus, 225 South Hall, and we maintain a library of pamphlets, brochures, and other informational material on non-profit organizations. We recommend you send no more than 50 brochures. To inquire further contact our office at (530) 752-3813.

• We only send the listserv out once a week on Tuesdays. To be sure your opportunity is posted, you MUST submit it by midnight on Monday of the week you want it sent out!
