I have had many questions on how to find volunteer opportunities on our online database and I will be the first to admit that it is very difficult.
If you're interested in searching through our database, here are some simple instructions:
1. Visit www.bsu.edu/svs
2. Refer to the right side toolbar. Click 'SVS Database.'
3. Click 'register here' and sign in with your BSU login.
4. If you have never volunteered with SVS, complete the questionnaire. Once completed, you will find yourself at your personalized main menu. Here you can check your logged hours, view/edit your personal information, and search for volunteer opportunities.
5. SEARCHING FOR A VOLUNTEER POSITION: At your main menu, click 'Search for an Opportunity.'
6. When you're searching on our database, you have to be mostly NONSPECIFIC. The more specific you are, the less likely you'll get results (even if your search preferences directly match a program). My best suggestion is that you search by program type.
7. PROGRAM TYPES: We have coordinated, independent, and one time programs.
The coordinated programs are lead by the student leaders of the organization. These students will be the liaison between you, the volunteer, and the organization, take you to the service site, and log your hours. Independent programs go according to your schedule and transportation and SVS will log your hours. The one time events are events that the Program Coordinators help plan throughout the year, a chance to make a commitment without dedicating your entire busy schedule/semester to it.
FRIENDLY REMINDER, MY FRIENDS: If you are an SVS volunteer, you are a member of our organization. WELCOME!
