Community Service

United Way of Blair County Logo
 

Get involved!

Penn State Altoona is proud to partner with the United Way of Blair County (UWBC) to connect our students with local non-profits, agencies, and goodwill initiatives that contribute to Blair County being a stronger community. Further, we hope this partnership provides skill-building and awareness opportunities that support Penn State's values and student-learning initiatives at Penn State Altoona.

If you are hoping to request student volunteers, please post your service opportunity on the Submit Volunteer Opportunity page of the UWBC site.

If you are looking for volunteer opportunities, please visit the UWBC Volunteer Opportunities site.

Submit your hours!

If you are a student and would like to submit your hours to be counted towards Penn State Altoona's total for the academic year, please submit them on Connect. Help us show the community the power of our civically-engaged campus community!

The Center for Student and Civic Engagement is happy to verify these hours for you if you want to provide proof of service to a graduate school or future employer. Reach out to [email protected] for more information on this service.
