Find a Volunteer Opportunity
One of the easiest ways to search for ongoing volunteer opportunities taking place within South Florida is to check out the Volunteer Opportunities Database. This database has information for over 250+ local Community Partner agencies that can be searched by interest area and provide contact information to follow up about ways to volunteer.
The Volunteer Portal is a one-stop-shop to find volunteer opportunities and for students to log their service hours. Keeping a log of volunteer hours is a great way to track your impact on the community and potentially be recognized for several awards including volunteer of the month!

Guiding Principles for Service
The Butler Center uses the "Spectrum of Service" model (see above) to illustrate how individuals develop into social change agents. The model demonstrates the process of growth individuals experience as they are exposed to volunteering and becoming more aware of and educated about societal issues. Individuals begin as "members" of society who are not concerned with a personal role in societal problems and ideally develop into "active citizens," or agents of change, who make the community a priority in their values and life choices.
