Get Involved with UUSC’s Haiti Volunteer Program
At UUSC, we believe in putting the needs of our partners at the center of our work. Through the Haiti Volunteer Program, we're creating opportunities for you to engage in service learning by rolling up your sleeves to assist Haitians who have been affected by the earthquake.
UUSC's JustWorks team, in collaboration with the UUA's International Office, are poised to complete a series of jointly sponsored volunteer trips to Haiti. New volunteer opportunities in Haiti are now being developed. Please let us know if you would like to receive more information about future volunteer opportunities in Haiti.
