VOLUNTEER/ OBSERVERSHIP CONTACT LIST

 

The University of Miami Volunteer Policy is designed to enable the University to accept volunteers, reduce volunteer risk and protect the interests of the University, its volunteers, and the community it serves.

University volunteers are uncompensated individuals who perform services directly related to the business of the University for their benefit, to support the humanitarian, charitable or public service activities of the University volunteer, or to gain experience in specific endeavors.

Foreign nationals holding non-immigrant visas that do not authorize employment in the United States may not become a University volunteer. (See Observership Policy http://www.miami.edu/international-student/ and contact information below.)
