KUMC Volunteer Recruitment Site

The KU Medical Center has recently begun to utilize a Galaxy Digital site to promote service opportunities to KUMC students. The site, serve.kumc.edu, is very similar to volunteer.ku.edu and Volunteer Douglas County.

If you have interest in recruiting KUMC students for projects with your organization, this is a great site to utilize!

Explore serve.kumc.edu.



The CSL has created a service project agreement for students who are engaged in the community to really think through the logistics and goals of their service experience.

If you're working with a KU student either through a class or through co-curricular volunteering, please encourage them to complete the Service Project Agreement form.

Bookmark our Service Project Agreement.

The CSL uses a number of resources to promote opportunities that come to us, including Hire Jayhawks and volunteer.ku.edu. We are happy to promote community programs and opportunities on your behalf!

We would also love to connect you directly with faculty, researchers, student organizations, and more to support meaningful partnerships across our community.

Let us know how we can promote and garner support for your work completing our partnerships and opportunities survey.
