Voluntoona

In our efforts to instill the values of community and responsibility, the Center for Student and Civic Engagement hosts Voluntoona which is an annual event that takes place every August during Welcome Week. Penn State Altoona partners with local community agencies to place students around the greater Altoona community to provide a morning of volunteer service. Since its inception in 2010, approximately 2400 students have performed 6300 hours of service to over 50 participating agencies.

Voluntoona 2017 will take place on Saturday, August 19 from 9 a.m. until noon. Current students, faculty, and staff wishing to participate should sign up using the Voluntoona Participation form on Orgsync.

Community agencies wishing to learn more about being a Voluntoona partner should call 814-949-5064 or email psaengage@psu.edu.
