Service & Engagement serves both the University and the Maryville community as the main source for volunteer opportunities, the benefit of academic endeavors, and service goals of community agencies. Volunteer programs at Northwest are beneficial to the development of students and to the improvement of the surrounding communities. We offer a wide range of programs that help students become engaged in the community and provide a valuable experience to apply to post-college careers.
If you know of any upcoming service opportunities for students or would like student volunteers for your organization or event, please reach out to the Office of Student Involvement at 660-562-1554, or by emailing osi@nwmissouri.edu.
Northwest Missouri State University will host its annual Missouri Hope emergency response training exercise Oct. 9–12 at Mozingo Outdoor Education Recreation Area and invites students, employees, and community members to volunteer as role players. Volunteers will act as disaster victims to help emergency management students and professionals train in realistic scenarios such as floods, wildfires, and tornadoes. Open to all majors, the event includes hands-on exercises in search-and-rescue, trauma treatment, and evacuation. Register to volunteer by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7. For details, contact Dr. Peter Adam (padam@nwmissouri.edu) or Travis Surprise (tsurprise@nwmissouri.edu).
