Volunteer opportunities
Get
connected!
Did you know that more than 2,500
volunteers devoted more than 40,000 hours to their communities last
year through the University of Maine
Cooperative Extension?
Why do people volunteer? To serve their families and communities;
to pursue their passions; to connect with like-minded people. Volunteers
meet vital community needs, and in the process often transform their own
lives.
We have volunteers working in youth
development, horticulture, coastal and freshwater water quality
monitoring, environmental work, nutrition education, senior companion
programs, sustainable coastal community programs, and parenting
education.
| “I am a compulsive life-long learner,
and through UMaine Extension I am embraced by a community
that understands learning by doing. I aspired to give back
to society, but my volunteer activities through Extension
are much less about obligation and much more about
opportunity. This is gosh-darn fun!”
—L.B., University
of Maine Cooperative Extension volunteer in Washington County
