FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the benefits of participating in Volunteer CNU?
The benefits vary.  For some, the opportunity to give back to the community and connect with citizens of our city is personally satisfying.  For others, the desire is to gain experience which can be used to determine a field of study, or career path- either way, completion of this program could certainly be added to your resume.   Whatever your reason for enrolling, the important thing to know is that you will learn a great deal from your experience and most likely will develop meaningful relationships with those you serve.

Where can I volunteer?
You may volunteer at any ONE of CNU’s accepted agencies found on the SERVICE DATABASE.

Will extensions be given for any deadlines?
Only under extenuating circumstances will extensions be given for the enrollment deadline. If you do not submit an enrollment form by the deadline you will not be able to participate in Volunteer CNU this semester. If you do not submit your time sheet by the deadline, you will not receive credit for your service hours.

Who should I contact if I have questions or concerns with my agency?
