Community Engagement Opportunities
We invite staff into this work as a way to deepen your understanding of social issues and the university’s commitment to solidarity. There are many programs at USF and in the surrounding Bay Area community that provide opportunities for engagement that strengthen community partnerships and contribute to the common good.
Staff may find opportunities via:
- Volunteer Match
- Bay Area Progressives Directory
- Hands On Bay Area
- St. Anthony Foundation
- Glide
- The Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good: follow social media for posts that include volunteer opportunities with partner organizations.

- San Francisco Education Fund is always looking for long-term volunteers to work in SFUSD schools. Note: this is longer than a 1-day commitment.

- The Mission Council has a menu of opportunities for faculty and staff.
