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.
Northwest Missouri State University will be hosting a Special Olympics Basketball Tournament on Saturday, January 24, 2026 in Bearcat Arena and the Student Recreation Center. Types of service activities may include clock operators, referees, music player, announcer, fans, etc. Please reach out to Brenda Lutz (BLUTZ@nwmissouri.edu) for more information.
