A Culture of Service
Volunteer50 supports UC San Diego’s mission of public service by connecting our campus community with volunteer opportunities—including our campuswide Volunteer50 Annual Events—and showcasing the collective impact of our volunteers. Whether you volunteer for one of our projects, or with the nonprofit of your choice, all community service counts toward your participation in the Volunteer50 initiative.
