Find Volunteers, Interns & Employees

Towson University supports the Greater Baltimore region in finding volunteers and interns.

Volunteers

Community partners can share volunteer opportunities by:

Special Event Volunteers

Special event volunteers are designated for community partners/agencies that seek short term (less than 14 calendar days) assistance for events that require a specific number of volunteers each day. While the roles of the volunteers may remain consistent, the volunteers may change from day to day based on availability. Some examples include: town festival, setup/breakdown crew and race/walk volunteers.

Regular Volunteers

Regular volunteers are designated for community partners/agencies that seek assistance during specific days and times of the week and are open to all volunteers. Some examples would include: After School Tutoring, Boys and Girls Club, the Maryland Food Bank, and shelters.

Long Term Volunteers

Long term volunteers are designated for community partners/agencies that seek assistance for longer than 14 calendar days. Community partners/agencies and volunteers benefit each other by developing a partnership where the same volunteer returns to provide service.

Volunteer Interns

Volunteer internships combine volunteer and internship experiences to provide students with a valuable learning experience related to their career path while also supporting community partners.

Alumni Volunteers

Alumni volunteers embrace TU’s role as a university for the public good by celebrating, promoting and advancing alumni volunteerism at TU, throughout the state and beyond. Alumni volunteers engage in one-time and episodic projects that match their interests and skillsets with campus and community needs.

External Graduate Assistantship

Unlike the conventional hiring process, TU's External Graduate Assistantship (EGA) Program is a simple and cost-effective way to hire experienced technical staff. Through this innovative program, a company contracts with TU for the services of our graduate students for up to 20 hours per week, for a choice of time periods (5, 10, or 12 months). Although students are TU "employees" they work at the company site under your direction on company specific projects.
